Read the following excerpt from Frederick Douglass’s “Learning to Read and Write” and answer the question. 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. In moments of agony, I envied my fellow slaves for their stupidity. I have often wished myself a beast. I preferred the condition of the meanest reptile to my own. In the excerpt above, which statement best supports the inference that the Frederick Douglass has come to realize the difficulties of his current condition? “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.” “I have often wished myself a beast.” “It had given me a view of my wretched condition, without the remedy.”
