b douglass becomes intent on learning to read.
c douglass learns the arguments made for and against slavery.

options:
a, b, c
c, b, a
b, c, a
b, a, c

Explanation:

1. Analyze the first cause: "Douglass’s mistress teaches him the alphabet." The effect of this should be that he becomes intent on learning to read (B), as learning the alphabet is a first step that sparks his desire to read.
2. Analyze the second cause: "Douglass makes friends with the poor white children in his neighborhood." The effect here is that he learns how to read (A), as these children likely help him in his reading journey.
3. Analyze the third cause: "Douglass obtains a copy of 'The Columbian Orator'." The effect is that he learns the arguments for and against slavery (C), as the orator would contain such content.

So the order of effects for the three causes (from left to right column) is B, A, C.

Answer:

B, A, C
