HELP ME

But, alas! this kind heart had but a short time to remain such. The fatal poison of irresponsible power was already in her hands, and soon commenced its infernal work. That cheerful eye, under the influence of slavery, eventually became red with rage; that voice made all of sweet accord, changed to one of harsh and horrid discord; and that angelic face gave place to that of a demon. —Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, Frederick Douglass
What image do the adjectives create of Mrs. Auld?
a mean-spirited woman who always believed in slavery
a good woman made angry and mean by slavery

Answer:

A good woman made angry and mean by slavery

Step-by-step explanation:

These adjectives, namely the ones utilized in the excerpt, "..eventually became red with rage;that voice made of all sweet accord, changed to one of harsh and horrid discord;" give the impression that Auld was nicer, yet was turned cruel by slavery. While it may not exactly by the correct answer, as I am not too knowledgeable on the Frederick Douglass narrative, but it most likely is somewhat similar.

I hope this can help you!
