This question is about "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass"
Answer:
a. Learning to read is as important as freedom
Explanation:
Douglass believed that learning to read and write was as important as freedom, because knowing how to read and write promoted freedom through knowledge. When he was a slave he was forbidden to learn to read and write because one of his masters informed him that it was dangerous to teach a slave this. Douglass soon understood why. he saw that if a slave knew and wrote he would get enough knowledge to understand that his servile condition was unfair and incorrect, he would also learn the guidelines necessary to free himself and his fellowmen from this oppressive system.
Answer:
He tells us when he has minor flaws such as being afraid.
Explanation:
One of the most common issues making a narrator untrustworthy is his/her bias toward oneself and toward other characters of the story whom he/she likes or does not like.
Most of the time bias is in favor of oneself, in rare cases it may be against oneself - blaming oneself excessively.
Telling one's own minor and/or major flaws is only one of many characteristics to make a narrator trustworthy.
All other options are either insignificant for adjudging him as a trustworthy narrator, or opposite of what makes him trustworthy and neutral.
Second and third options are insignificant (do not contribute in making him neutral narrator)
Fourth option is incorrect because focusing on oneself makes a narrator biased and hence untrustworthy.
