question 9 of 10
how does frederick douglasss tone change when he arrives in baltimore?
a. he seems stoic and cold.
b. he seems to be angry.
c. he becomes sad and hopeless.
d. he shows more emotion.

Explanation:

In Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, when Douglass arrives in Baltimore, his tone shifts. Previously, as a young slave, he may have had a more subdued or repressed emotional expression due to the harshness of slavery. But in Baltimore, he experiences new opportunities (like the initial kindness of his mistress teaching him to read). This new environment allows him to show more emotion, such as hope and a glimmer of the possibility of a different life. Options A (stoic and cold), B (angry), and C (sad and hopeless) don't align with the new - found glimmer of hope and the more expressive tone he adopts in Baltimore as described in the narrative.

Answer:

D. He shows more emotion.
