Read this excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. As to my own treatment while I lived on Colonel Lloyd's
plantation, it was very similar to that of the other slave
children. I was not old enough to work in the field, and
there being little else than field work to do, I had a great
deal of leisure time. The most I had to do was to drive up
the cows at evening, keep the fowls out of the garden,
keep the front yard clean, and run of errands for my old
master's daughter, Mrs. Lucretia Auld. The most of my
leisure time I spent in helping Master Daniel Lloyd in
finding his birds, after he had shot them I was seldom
whipped by my old master, and suffered little from any
thing else than hunger and cold.

in this passage?

O B. He creates pathos by referring to his hunger and being whipped to
make readers feel sorry for him.
O C. He describes his treatment chronologically to show that he is
presenting the facts correctly
O D. He uses formal word choice, like 'errands' and 'seldom, to
establish his credibility

Select the correct text in the passage. which sentence in this excerpt from abraham lincoln's second inaugural address conveys that he wanted the us civil war to end as soon as possible? neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. both read the same bible and pray to the same god, and each invokes his aid against the other. it may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just inging their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. the prayers of both could not be answered. that of neither has been answered fully. the almighty has his own purposes. "woe unto the world because of offenses, for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh" if we shall suppose that american slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of god, must needs come, but which, having continued through his appointed time, he now wills to remove, and that he gives to both north and south this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living god always ascribe to him? fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. yet, if god wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the lord are true and righteous altogether." reset next
