Answer:

The correct answer is A. The author's immediate purpose in writing "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July" was to persuade readers about the unjust treatment of African Americans.

Explanation:

The author of this speech was Frederick Douglass, an abolitionist, speaker, writer and statesman who after escaping slavery in Maryland, became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York, gaining prestige by his oratory and critical writings against slavery.

In this speech, he makes an analysis of the constitutional basis of slavery in the United States, establishing that the guarantees of the Constitution, the very basis of American society, were an insult to the African-American population, since the rights enunciated in there were not available for them.

It tells, on the other hand, the unfair and unequal treatment of African-Americans, both from the government and from society itself.

Katyanochek1 [597]

To grab attention of the readers, the poets, authors and writers use techniques that let those words stay in the minds of the readers.

One of the techniques which is frequently used and which can be often observed in our everyday lives - news, movies, entertainment sector - is Alliteration.

The similar sound of the initial words/first letter in a line/sentence is alliteration. When there is repetition of the letter that produces the same sound while pronouncing, it creates a pattern in how we understand that sentence.

Here, 'float free' is an example of alliteration - <u>f </u>loat <u>f </u>ree - similar sound of initial words. In alliteration, the words of which first letters are repetitive and have a similarity in sound are always consonants.
