The man handles the mouse.
I think that Mrs. Auld followed her husband's advice to stop teaching Douglass to read in My Bondage and My Freedom because WIVES WERE EXPECTED TO OBEY THEIR HUSBANDS.
Douglass was a slave and according to Mr. Auld, slaves do not need to know how to read because they will not be able to perform their tasks well as a slave.
Assuming this is referring to the same options as the previous post, the correct answer would be " she feels as though poetry is a natural extension of the human mind."
