But I fancy I hear some one of my audience say, it is just in this circumstance that you and your brother abolitionists fail to

make a favorable impression on the public mind. Would you argue more, and denounce less, would you persuade more, and rebuke less, your cause would be much more likely to succeed. But, I submit, where all is plain there is nothing to be argued. What point in the anti-slavery creed would you have me argue? On what branch of the subject do the people of this country need light? Must I undertake to prove that the slave is a man? That point is conceded already. Nobody doubts it. The slaveholders themselves acknowledge it in the enactment of laws for their government. They acknowledge it when they punish disobedience on the part of the slave.
There are seventy-two crimes in the State of Virginia, which, if committed by a black man, (no matter how ignorant he be), subject him to the punishment of death; while only two of the same crimes will subject a white man to the like punishment. What is this but the acknowledgement that the slave is a moral, intellectual and responsible being? The manhood of the slave is conceded. It is admitted in the fact that Southern statute books are covered with enactments forbidding, under severe fines and penalties, the teaching of the slave to read or to write. When you can point to any such laws, in reference to the beasts of the field, then I may consent to argue the manhood of the slave. When the dogs in your streets, when the fowls of the air, when the cattle on your hills, when the fish of the sea, and the reptiles that crawl, shall be unable to distinguish the slave from a brute, then will I argue with you that the slave is a man! (“What to a Slave Is the Fourth of July” by Frederick Douglass.)

What is Douglass’s main argument in this passage?

A) The laws about slaves are unfair.

B) Slaves are human beings.

C) Slavery should be abolished.

D) He does not need to argue about whether slaves are human beings because everyone already agrees that they are.

Khalil scored low on the intuitive function. since khalil has low intuition, which trait does khalil have a high score
alisha [4.7K]

If Khalil scored low on the intuitive function, that means he must score high on the opposite trait, which would be the <u>sensing function.</u>

<h3>Intuition vs Sensing</h3>

Both intuition and sensing are functions based on Jungian theories concerning our personalities. Intuition and sensing refer to the way we learn, that is, to how we take in information from the world.

A person who scores high in intuition is someone who learns based on his own perceptions and impressions of the information obtained. A person who scores high in sensing learns from his five senses.

One way that such a difference often shows itself is on people's abilities with their hands. Normally, sensory people are better painters or sculptors, for example. However, we must keep in mind there are exceptions to all cases.

With the information above in mind, we can say Khalil scored high on sensing since he scored low on intuition.
