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?

The correct answer is: <em>"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." </em>

In this phrase, the author is clearly stating his position towards the whole act of enslaving people. He describes it as "a step taken in the wrong direction" as it is an activity that inflicts the "violence done to nature". By saying this, the author blasts slavery and labels it as a dreadful act that goes against the correct behavior of human beings.

Answer and Explanation:

Twain avoided "literary offenses" by not mentioning these works throughout the narrative. This was significant because Twain keeps his attention on the narrative itself, specifically stimulating the themes that the narrative addresses.

In this case, instead of provoking criticism to other known works and authors, Twain highlights a narrative with themes that provoke reflections on regional differences and stereotypes, a sense of community and personal integrity.

The correct answer is Option d i.e. using textual evidence to support her inference.

This letter is entirely yours, both in the wording and the sentiment, according to the verse above from Sophie's paper on Response to Erik of Sweden

The letter makes clear that one's zeal and love for others cannot be diminished, but we are still disappointed that we are unable to show your Serene Highness the same level of affection. This isn't because we have any doubts about your honour or love; on numerous occasions, we have attested to it in writing and verbally, and we have never before imagined feeling that way about anyone.
