Douglass learns the white man's power comes from the ability to prevent education to the slaves. The excerpt expresses Douglass' understanding of how education empowers the literate person and by remaining illiterate, unable to read, the master keeps his power against the slave. Yet, as the man says its forbidden he gives Douglass a strong mindset to keep working and strive. For example, in this passage, “It gave me the best assurance that I might rely with the utmost confidence on the results which, he said, would flow from teaching me to read. What he most dreaded, that I most desired. What he most loved, that I most hated. That which to him was a great evil, to be carefully shunned, was to me a great good, to be diligently sought; and the argument which he so warmly urged, against my learning to read, only served to inspire me with a desire and determination to learn.”

When is says, “deeply sensible of the truths he was uttering.” There it shows, he interprets and knows the things Mr. Auld is saying are true but painful to bear. Mr. Auld says things that are stating if he learns to read (especially from his wife) then it wouldn’t be a good outcome for the slave (Douglass) future. There’s many things that can cause even more harm. Like as we read this sentence, “As to himself, it could do him no good, but a great deal of harm.” For this is only what the man (Mr. Auld) was trying to get in his head. “I now understood what had been to me a most perplexing difficulty—to wit, the white man’s power to enslave the black man.” Yet, he wouldn’t stop there and was to still thrive and learn to read.

The sentence below is in passive voice. Select the rewritten sentence that accurately conveys active voice. “The small, grey mou
Sveta_85 [38]


Answer: <span>A. The hungry housecat killed the small, grey mouse last Tuesday and left it on the doorstep.</span>

<span>With active voice the subject, in this case the housecat is doing the action. So with this sentence, the cat killed the mouse and then left it on the doorstep.</span>

<span>Passive voice sentences usually use the word was like in three of the four examples you gave. </span>

<span>In example  B the following wording was used: was left, was killed (that is passive voice).</span>

<span>Example C: was left</span>

<span>Example D: was killed</span>

<span>While example C and D start off using active voice (the hungry housecat killed) it finishes using passive voice. The tenses should remain the same throughout the sentence. </span>

<span>Hopefully this helped and good luck</span>
