Read the following excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass, by Fredrick Douglass and answer the question that fo

llows.
The plan which I adopted, and the one by which I was most successful, was that of making friends of all the little white boys whom I met in the street. As many of these as I could, I converted into teachers. With their kindly aid, obtained at different times and in different places, I finally succeeded in learning to read. When I was sent of errands, I always took my book with me, and by doing one part of my errand quickly, I found time to get a lesson before my return. I used also to carry bread with me, enough of which was always in the house, and to which I was always welcome; for I was much better off in this regard than many of the poor white children in our neighborhood. This bread I used to bestow upon the hungry little urchins, who, in return, would give me that more valuable bread of knowledge. I am strongly tempted to give the names of two or three of those little boys, as a testimonial of the gratitude and affection I bear them; but prudence forbids;—not that it would injure me, but it might embarrass them; for it is almost an unpardonable offence to teach slaves to read in this Christian country.

Which of the following best summarizes the passages?
The white boys in his neighborhood taught him to read in exchange for pieces of bread.
It was against the rules to teach slaves to read in white Christian country.
Frederick Douglass was wealthy while the white boys were poor.
Frederick Douglass couldn’t go to school because he had too many errands to do.

What does courfeyracs move to the Rue De la Verrerie indicate about his character and the political instability of the time?
Vladimir79 [104]
Courfeyrac moves to Rue de la Verrerie because he believes that it is more of a center for other people who want to move the Revolution forward. This shows how much he cares about the cause and how ready and willing he is to fight. It also shows, since there is such a large number of people ready to do the same, how badly people want a Revolution. In a politically stable country, there would not be so many people wanting to rise up against the government.

A teacher wants to give 3 markers to each of her 25 students. Markers come in packeges of 8
Lina20 [59]

Ok, you know 8x3=24 so the answer will be at least 9 because 3x3=9.

8x9=72 and 25x3=75 so if you do 8x10 you get 80 and that's enough for each student with 5 left over.

So, the teacher will need 10 packages of markers.
