Answer 1

To answer this question option B is the answer.

Answer 2

Answer: It is likely that option (b) is the correct answer. Frederick Douglass was a renowned abolitionist who spoke out against slavery and advocated for the rights of black Americans. He himself had escaped slavery and his speeches were often emotional and powerful as he shared his experiences and those of other slaves. His speeches were a reminder to many of the injustices and cruelty of slavery, and they inspired and motivated people to take action to fight against it. It is therefore understandable that people may have felt a great deal of compassion and empathy for the struggles of Douglass and other slaves, and that this could have led to emotional responses during his speeches.
