The correct answer is B.
In this excerpt from his "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave," Douglass tells the reader about the cruel separations slaves had to go through when they were sold.
Slaves were sold like animals or property. They had no saying in who was to buy them and could not oppose whatsover. This meant that buyers could chose to buy one person, separating him from everything he loved, and the slave would have no choice but to go with him.
