Answer:

The meaning of chattel is 'property.'

The meaning of the word 'chattel' can be understood with the help of a clue that states 'for her to treat me as a human being was not only wrong but dangerously so...'

The type of context clue used in this is 'antonym context clue.'

Explanation:

The meaning of the word 'chattel' is property. Frederick Douglass in his autobiography writes about his life in slavery and during that time, <u>slaves were considered a mere chattel (property) than a human being.</u>

<u>The writer has used the context clue to define the term chattel by saying that for his owner to treat him like 'human being' was not only wrong but dangerous as well</u>.

The writer has used an 'antonym context clue' in this paragraph.

The antonym context clue, as the term suggests are those clues in which the writer states a contrasting idea near to the word. The antonym context clues are also known as 'contrast clues.' In such context clues, a word or phrase that means opposite to the unfamiliar word is used to hint the meaning.
