Pecan-covered cake is correct
Douglass' birth as a slave allows readers to understand the hardships and sufferings he went through, as well as allowing readers to understand the importance of reading to him.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- The fact that Douglass was born a slave lays the foundation for understanding all the events in the rest of the text.
- This is because being born a slave meant that Douglass did not know his birth date, had no home, was estranged from his family, suffered various abuses, and was prevented from accessing education.
- All these factors promoted a very difficult life, which justifies why Douglass fights for the liberation of slaves.
In this case, we can say that Douglass wanted to establish how suffering and limitation were present from the beginning of his life, allowing readers to understand from the beginning what he was trying to defend.

The selection that contains a fragment is B.
Every other sentence contains two distinct clauses put together by the use of a relative pronoun (which in A and C) or a conjunction (so in phrase D). In B, the two clauses "she doesn't give herself enough credit" and "that's too bad" are not linked syntactically and are simply juxtaposed.
Although not grammatically "correct", the use of a fragmented syntax a frequent trait of oral speech.
