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.

This is a syllable or word element that can only occur in front of or after a root or stem
Serjik [45]

Answer: Affix.

An affix is a grammatical unit that is attached to a word's stem to form a new word. They are important in English because they are one of the main ways in which the language creates new words.

The two most common ones are: prefixes, which are placed before the stem (ex. pre-, in-, un-) and suffixes, which are placed after the stem (ex. -ly, -ness).
