Question

I need help and will give 20 points to who ever answer my Question! Nothing seemed to make her more angry than to see me with a newspaper. She seemed to think that here lay the danger. I have had her rush at me with a face made all up of fury, and snatch from me a newspaper, in a manner that fully revealed her apprehension. She was an apt woman; and a little experience soon demonstrated, to her satisfaction, that education and slavery were incompatible with each other.

What is the mistress’s attitude toward Douglass? a)She is concerned by Douglass’s increasing knowledge. b) She is jealous because Douglass understands current events. c) She is suspicious about Douglass’s feelings toward her. d) She is worried about what her neighbors think of Douglass.

Answer 1

A. I think.... B also makes sense to me but I would go with A

Answer 2

a)She is concerned by Douglass’s increasing knowledge.

Step-by-step explanation:

She seemed to want Douglas ignorant so that she could control him better. It seems very clear in this part of the excerpt: "a little experience soon demonstrated, to her satisfaction, that education and slavery were incompatible with each other". She didn't want him to have information.
