Final answer:

The questions pertain to Frederick Douglass's experiences and the literary analysis of his autobiography. B is the commonality between Covey and Freeland; D is the result of Douglass's educational prohibition; B is the climax of Douglass's narrative; A is a feature of an autobiography; D is exemplified by the autobiographical passage.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Between Covey and Freeland, both men are Douglass's superiors for a time, making option B the correct answer. Covey is known as a 'negro-breaker' and has a negative reputation, while Freeland, though still a slaveholder, shows some respect for honor and humanity.

2. The effect of Douglass being forbidden from receiving an education from Mrs. Auld is that he resorted to asking the white children in his neighborhood to help him learn to read, which is option D.

3. The climax of 'Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass' is when Douglass decides to fight back against Covey's beatings, which is option B. This pivotal moment represents Douglass's resistance to the dehumanization of slavery.

4. A characteristic of an autobiography is it is written in first-person point of view, which is option A. This perspective allows the author to give a personal account of their life experiences.

5. The element of an autobiography demonstrated in the passage where Douglass mentions his place of birth is the recording of events in chronological order, which corresponds to option D.
