B.
Frederick Douglass

C.
“Freedom’s Voice” is about the struggles of Frederick Douglass, a former slave.

D.
In “Freedom’s Voice,” we are told that Frederick was a slave until he was 20, during which time he learned to read. He then escaped to the North, got married, and met with abolitionists. He began speaking against slavery.

Answer 1

I believe it is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think it’s D because summarization means to read a passage closely, finding the main ideas and supporting ideas. Then briefly write down those ideas in a few sentences or a paragraph. It is important to understand the difference between a summary and a paraphrase. A paraphrase is simply a rewriting of a passage in your own words.

Choice D shortly summarizes Frederick Douglass’s life, therefore it’s D
