b. <em>he describes the event unemotionally to avoid bias and sentiment</em>. This is the correct answer.
Frederick Douglass, a former slave, wrote this memoir in 1845. The event he describes is related to the moment he left a plantation- Colonel Lloyd's - and the fact he was being carried to Baltimore by sail. There is not any emotional language in this description. As this narrative was considered a treatise against abolition, the writer must have avoided any sentimental language.
These options are not right:
a. he describes the event chronologically to make the account factual. ( The event is described but chronology is not stated).
c. he uses words such as remember to set a sad, nostalgic tone. ( The word remember is mentioned because it is a memoir. The words does not necessarily indicate any nostalgic tone).
d. he uses nautical terms, such as aft, to establish his credibility. ( The writer's credibility will not be reflected by his use of this specific vocabulary).

<u>Explanation:</u>
Thoreau was a savant of nature and its connection to the human condition. In his initial years he followed Transcendentalism, a free and mixed dreamer theory upheld by Emerson, Fuller, and Alcott.
Transcendentalists accept that society and its organizations—especially sorted out religion and ideological groups—degenerate the immaculateness of the person. They have confidence that individuals are at their best when genuinely "confident" and autonomous. It is just from such genuine people that genuine network can shape.
