Answer 1

The answer is: D. It presents facts about Douglass's family without showing his emotion.

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see, this excerpt is explaining quite sad things, but its plain structure doesn't allow to feel Douglass' emotion or feeling. A cannot be possible as it is not actually relying on understatements. Option B, it is actually not avoiding bias, as Douglass is stating what his thoughts are. And letter C, it isn't told from another perspective, in that case we wolud've seen phrases or words which allow us to decide whether this is told from another point of view or not.
