Answer: His master is crueler after finding religion than he was before.
Explanation:
Douglas considered his master as a cruel man. His master once went out for a christian camp meeting and in the course of the meeting, he surrendered his life to Christ. Due to this, Douglass hoped that this religious transformation would result in his master being less cruel toward his slaves, and this didn't turn out to be the case, rather the master became more cruel.
This is an irony, because Douglass experienced the opposite of his expectation. An irony is the expression of one's meaning by the use of language which normally signifies the opposite, usually for emphatic or humorous effect.

<h3>Today, mass psychogenic illness normally develops through the fear of a viral outbreak and other biological factors.</h3>
Explanation:
Unlike the past, today mass psychogenic illness does not develop through customs or ritualized behaviors. The "Dancing Manias" of the Middle Ages was believed to have caused due to religious beliefs like a curse sent by a godly entity or a punishment from the God.
However, modern mass psychogenic illness usually develops through the fear of a viral outbreak or other biological factors. Mass hysteria of being contracted with a certain disease or illness is mostly believed by the victims. They do not trace their illness to any supernatural elements but rather believes it as something man-made or a viral outbreak.
