Read this excerpt from My Bondage and My Freedom by Frederick Douglass: She had bread for the hungry, clothes for the naked, and

comfort for every mourner that came within her reach. Slavery soon proved its ability to divest her of these excellent qualities, and her home of its early happiness. Conscience cannot stand much violence. Once thoroughly broken down, who is he that can repair the damage? It may be broken toward the slave, on Sunday, and toward the master on Monday. It cannot endure such shocks. It must stand entire, or it does not stand at all. If my condition waxed bad, that of the family waxed not better. The first step, in the wrong direction, was the violence done to nature and to conscience, in arresting the benevolence that would have enlightened my young mind. Which of the following sentences best describes Douglass’s opinion about slavery?
1. Slavery degrades the slaveholder by killing his or her conscience.
2. Slavery prevents slave children from reaching their potential.
3.Slavery is degrading to both the slaveholder and the enslaved.
4. Slavery makes even the kindest people cruel and heartless.

"The whole house was constantly in a state of inundation, under the discipline of mops and brooms and scrubbing brushes; and the
Lisa [10]

The correct answer is "In this selection, the use of the word <em>inundation</em> is probably exaggerated."


In this situation, inundation is not a real inundation/flood, therefore it is not literal. It is a word used to exaggerate the fact that the housewives are constantly cleaning the house, sweeping and mopping. You can see that too in the excerpt <em>"under the discipline of mops and brooms". </em>We know the author is referring to the cleaning process and therefore, chooses to use the word <em>inundation</em> to create more depth to what he's describing.
