Answer:
The answer to Part A would be Ignorant, as the author goes on to state that his youthful understanding had struggled in vain. If someone is ignorant of something, yet they do not take the time to actually go research or learn about that thing, then they would be struggling in vain because they are selfish and not taking time to research what it is that the other person is saying that they do not understand.
For the answer to Part B, I would say that (Frederick) Douglass' new awareness of how owners maintain control over slaves allows him to better understand how to improve his situation. I say this because he seems to have an awakening/epiphany in the very last line: "I now understood what had been to me a most perplexing difficulty".
Explanation:
I hope this helps!
The correct answer would be B.
54.45
50.00 is in tens place.
Example:
<span>14,494 </span>
<span>To round off the height value to the nearest thousand we can use the expanded from to clarity the position of numbers which is: </span>
<span>10, 000 = ten thousand </span>
<span>4, 000 = thousands </span>
<span>400 = hundreds </span>
<span>90 = tens </span>
<span>4 = ones </span>
<span>Here we can notice than four thousand is the value where the nearest thousands is placed. Hence we can round off the number of 14, 494 into 14, 000. Notice 0-4 rounding off rules.<span> </span></span>
Immediately after he commits the murder, the narrator feels very calm and confident, he describes the whole situation in which he disarmed the body:
<em>First I cut off the head, then the arms and the legs. I was careful not to let a single drop of blood fall on the floor. I pulled up three of the boards that formed the floor, and put the pieces of the body there. Then I put the boards down again, carefully, so carefully that no human eye could see that they had been moved.</em>
Then, while he is talking to the officers, he starts feeling guilty, so guilty that he imagines the sound of the heart beating. He thinks that the officers can also hear the sound and that they are setting a trap. He ends up confessing the murder:
<em>No! They heard! I was certain of it. They knew! Now it was they who were playing a game with me. I was suffering more than I could bear, from their smiles, and from that sound. Louder, louder, louder! Suddenly I could bear it no longer. I pointed at the boards and cried, “Yes! Yes, I killed him. Pull up the boards and you shall see! I killed him. But why does his heart not stop beating?! Why does it not stop!?</em>
