read the excerpt from narrative of the life of frederick
douglass.

and, to cap the climax of their base ingratitude and
fiendish barbarity, my grandmother, who was now very old
having outlived my old master and all his children, having
seen the beginning and end of all of them, and her present
owners finding she was of but little value, her frame
already racked with the pains of old age, and complete
fast stealing over her once active limbs, they
took her to the woods, built her a little hut, put up a little
mud-chimney, and then made her welcome to the privilege
of supporting herself there in perfect loneliness; thus
virtually turning her out to die! what effect does douglass’s use of the word welcome privileged and perfect have in this paragraph?
a. they are used sarcastically to emphasize the cruel
treatment of his grandmother
b. they provide a contrast between the wealthy, powerful
master and the enslaved person.
c. they demonstrate the kind treatment douglass's
grandmother received from her master.
d. they are used to describe douglass's grandmother's
dreams of one day being set free.
