b.In Baltimore, Douglass’s mistress taught him to read until her husband stopped her from continuing.
c. After his master said that “learning would spoil” him, Douglass continued his education on his own.
d.The collection of speeches in Columbian Orator introduced Douglass to the ideals of the American Revolution.

Answer 1

C. After his master said that “learning would spoil” him, Douglass continued his education on his own.

Step-by-step explanation:

This seems like the correct answer because the answer choice says Douglass continued to learn on his own. Answer Choice D just says that he got interested in the American Revolution, not that he began to grow an interest in education. Answer Choice A has nothing to do with learning, only recording information. And Answer Choice B just says that Douglass's mistress read to him for a little bit until her husband told her to stop, which has nothing to do about education.
