The correct answer is: D.) It represents the moment that Douglass understood the value of education for his future.

Indeed, Douglass was more or less twelve years old when he was taught to read and write by his white mistress, Mrs. Sophia Auld. Her husband very cleverly surmised that teaching slaves to read would make them desire freedom from slavery and convinced his wife that it was dangerous for the institution of slavery to teach slaves to read.

This is definitely a complicating incident in the autobiography of Frederick Douglass since it hindered his efforts to educate himself and rise above his forced servitude. However, he was able to actually overcome such obstacle by ingenuity and perseverance and as he states, this revelation provided him with the greatest lesson in his road to freedom.

charle [14.2K]

This argument illustrates the slippery slope fallacy as Leo Panchello was used to create a happy picture of how much hard work local business owners put in and then goes on to tell how the light rail would destroy the local business and ruin all of their hard work which brings a sad ending.

<h3>What is a fallacy?</h3>

This is known as a mistaken belief, a faulty or failed reasoning especially one based on unsound argument.

Hence, the fallacy makes the argument weak because there's no indication that a light rail would destroy a main local business in the town as when constructing a light rail, they do not tear up the street, instead, they make the light rail a part of the street

A slippery slope fallacy is a course of action that is rejected because there is little or no evidence that one insists to lead to a chain reaction resulting in an undesirable end.
