Lives of Commitment: Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass

Question 3 • CA-Expository Reading and Writing B

Which detail from the paragraph is evidence that enslaved people were not taught?

Answer
A
Douglass did not know his location.
B
Douglass knew the day of the week that he set sail for Baltimore.
C
Douglass did not know the days of the month or months of the year.
D
Douglass did not know the nautical terms for a ship.

Explanation

The detail that Douglass did not know the days of the month or months of the year shows that he had not been taught basic information about time. Choice C states this directly. Knowing the day of the week that he sailed, as in choice B, does not show the same lack of instruction.
