<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>

...he that was strongest secured the best place; and few left the trough satisfied

============================================================

Explanation:

Frederick Douglass is describing the horrific conditions of what kind of food he ate and the conditions in which he had his meals. At the start of the paragraph, he describes the food itself (a corn meal called Mush). Then later on he describes how the food was served in a very degrading inhumane way (the food being served in a trough; effectively treating them as animals). Shortly after, he goes over how the food was eaten through a variety of means: use of oyster shells, shingles, or bare hands. None of which involves the regular utensils you'd expect such as a spoon.

At the very end of the excerpt, Frederick Douglass mentions that "He that ate the fastest got most; he was strongest secured the best place; and few left the trough satisfied". This effectively means that even though the food itself was horrible, and the conditions degrading, people were still hungry and had no other choice. Also, even the people who were able to eat the most weren't truly/fully fed.

So in short, the last part of the excerpt describes that the slaves weren't fed enough. If we could narrow down the cited evidence as much as possible, the portion that mentions "few left the trough satisfied" is the thing you should focus on.

lesya [120]

Answer:

Logical appeal (Logos)

Explanation:

Logical appeal, also known as Logos is one of the three modes of persuasion that appeals to logic or reason. To support an argument using logos, facts, statistics, and history are referenced. In the Speech, "I have a Dream", by Martin Luther King, the Emancipation proclamation by Abraham Lincoln which was declared 100 years ago, was referenced at the onset of the speech and this served as a logical appeal to history.  

The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were also references to history aimed at supporting King's arguments.

People can be deceiving, especially the
Soloha48 [4]

Answer: No, I think deception is never necessary. I think that deception is just a trick to always get whatever you want, which is very wrong and selfish. The only time deception may be acceptable to me is when you are in a very important argument where you or a friend could be in harms way. A possible example of this is when you, or a friend is getting in trouble for something you did not do. Do everything you can, including deception, to get out of that situation.
