Read the excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave. Which two sentences in this excerpt from F

rederick Douglass’s memoir reflect the idea that the slaves had been brainwashed into blind obedience?
The competitors for this office sought as diligently to please their overseers, as the office-seekers in the political parties seek to please and deceive the people. The same traits of character might be seen in Colonel Lloyd's slaves, as are seen in the slaves of the political parties. The slaves selected to go to the Great House Farm, for the monthly allowance for themselves and their fellow-slaves, were peculiarly enthusiastic. While on their way, they would make the dense old woods, for miles around, reverberate with their wild songs, revealing at once the highest joy and the deepest sadness. They would compose and sing as they went along, consulting neither time nor tune. The thought that came up, came out—if not in the word, in the sound;—and as frequently in the one as in the other. They would sometimes sing the most pathetic sentiment in the most rapturous tone, and the most rapturous sentiment in the most pathetic tone.

Answer:

The competitors for this office sought as diligently to please their overseers, as the office-seekers in the political parties seek to please and deceive the people.

The same traits of character might be seen in Colonel Lloyd's slaves, as are seen in the slaves of the political parties.

Explanation:

These are the two sentences that convey the idea that slaves had been brainwashed into blind obedience. In these lines, we learn that the slaves who had been "chosen" to fulfill a mission were extremely eager to please their overseers. They were as convinced of this need to obey as politicians are of their own duties. This shows that the slaves had no doubt in their mind of their commitment to their master.

4. PART A: Which answer best describes Jim's mother
Kipish [7]

Answer:

E. All of the above

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

A. Jim’s mother lacks religious faith, whereas the school book mothers are pious.

B. She is neither loving nor devoted to her son, whereas the school book mothers are.

C. She is healthy, whereas the school book mothers are always dying of consumption.

D. She physically hits him, whereas the school book mothers are gentle and affectionate.

E. All of the above

This question refers to the story "The Story of the Bad Little Boy" by Mark Twain. In this story, Twain talks about a boy who was very bad, but who never felt guilty, received a punishment or was particularly unhappy. According to Twain, this shows that the moral stories that we find in "Sunday-school books" do not reflect reality.

One of the elements in the boy's life (Jim) that did not resemble those stories was his mother. Jim's mother was not a sick and pious woman like those often found in such stories. Instead, she was tough, healthy and "stout." Moreover, she was not religious, and she did not worry about Jim in any way. Instead, she cared little for him and physically hit him, spanking him and boxing his ears.
