The correct answer is A: Asking the white children to help him learn to read.
Explanation:
Mrs. Auld is forbidden by her husband to continue teaching Douglass to read, he arguments that reading would turn him into a free person and he will be no good to people, besides it was against the law. Douglass is very confused about it and he started questioning why the masters won´t let their slaves learn to read or write, so he had the urge to continue with his education, now more than ever.
To accomplish this, he made friends with some neighborhood white boys who help him in the process of reading and Douglass give them bread in exchange.
That's how Douglass could read one of the most important books about slavery abolition: Columbian Orator.
