read the following excerpt from frederick douglass's narrative of the life of frederick douglass, an american slave: we sailed out of miles river for baltimore on a saturday morning, i remember only the day of the week, for at that time i had no knowledge of the days of the month, nor the months of the year. on setting sail, i walked aft, and gave to colonel lloyd's plantation what i hoped would be the last look. which of the following statements best explains how douglass uses objectivity in this passage to convey his perspective? a. he describes the event chronologically to make the account factual. b. he describes the event unemotionally to avoid bias and sentiment. c. he uses words such as remember to set a sad, nostalgic tone. d. he uses nautical terms, such as aft, to establish his credibility.

Frederick Douglass, a former slave, wrote this memoir in 1845. The event he describes is related to the moment he left a plantation- Colonel Lloyd's - and the fact he was being carried to Baltimore by sail. There is not any emotional language in this description. As this narrative was considered a treatise against abolition, the writer must have avoided any sentimental language.

These options are not right:

a. he describes the event chronologically to make the account factual. ( The event is described but chronology is not stated).

c. he uses words such as remember to set a sad, nostalgic tone. ( The word remember is mentioned because it is a memoir. The words does not necessarily indicate any nostalgic tone).

d. he uses nautical terms, such as aft, to establish his credibility. ( The writer's credibility will not be reflected by his use of this specific vocabulary).
