what effect does the repetition of the word \when\ have?
the repetition gives the excerpt a philosophical quality.
the repetition reinforces douglass’s incredulity at the opposition’s attitudes.
the repetition distracts readers from douglass’s original point.
the repetition clarifies the time in which the speech was delivered.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

La repetición de "when" se usa para enfatizar la incredulidad de Douglass hacia las actitudes de la oposición. La primera opción no es correcta porque la repetición no otorga un tono filosófico. La tercera es errónea ya que la repetición no distrae, sino que enfatiza el punto. La cuarta no es correcta porque "when" no clarifica el tiempo del discurso, sino que construye la condición para argumentar que el esclavo es un hombre, reflejando la incredulidad de Douglass ante quienes niegan la humanidad de los esclavos.

Answer:

B. The repetition reinforces Douglass’s incredulity at the opposition’s attitudes.
