Question

Read this excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick

Douglass,
What word from the excerpt provides evidence that a
an enslaved person, the author had little to no control
over where he lived?

finding none which I should relish less than the one
which I was leaving. If, however, I found in my new
home hardship, hunger, whipping, and nakedness. I had
the consolation that I should not have escaped any one
of them by staying. Having already had more than a
taste of them in the house of my old master, and having
endured them there. I very naturally inferred my ability to
endure them elsewhere, and especially at Baltimore

When you aren't sure about what a word means, you can look it up in a dictionary - an alphabetically arranged listing of words that contains various information about them, such as their definitions, examples, origin, pronunciation, etc.

• The definition of the word confident is: feeling or showing confidence in oneself or one's abilities or qualities.

• The definition of the verb to escape is: to break free from confinement or control.
