Which quotation best expresses Douglass's purpose for writing this passage?

"It opened my eyes to the horrible pit, but to no ladder upon which to get out."

"The silver trump of freedom had roused my soul to eternal wakefulness."
"It looked from every star, it smiled in every calm, breathed in every wind, and moved in every storm."
"As I writhed under it, I would at times feel that learning to read had been a curse rather than a blessing."

“ it opened my eyes to the horrible pit, but to no ladder upon which to get out.

Explanation: this is the line that best explains how Frederick Douglass has come to realize the difficulties of his current condition. Douglass tells us that when he learned how to read and write, he almost regretted it. This because learning to read showed him what a sad situation he was in. It made him cognizant of slavery, and of how trapped he was in this system. This feeling of captivity is what he wants to convey through the use of the pit with no ladder as a metaphor.
