Final answer:
McCoy faced similar challenges in each home he moved to, based on the hardships and lack of familial ties described by Frederick Douglass in his autobiography. The choice that aligns closest with the evidence provided is that McCoy faced similar challenges in each home.
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the textual evidence provided, one can conclude that McCoy faced similar challenges in each home he moved to. In Frederick Douglass's autobiography recounted in Chapter V, Douglass describes his experiences of living on Colonel Lloyd's plantation, clarifying the lack of familial ties, charm, and the hardships he endured, such as hunger and whipping. This suggests a pattern of challenging conditions that persist regardless of the specific home. Additionally, the broader discussion of home in society and personal identity indicates a shared understanding of home and the complexities when one's living situation changes repeatedly or dramatically.
Regarding the student's multiple choices, the answer would align most closely with option A, that McCoy faced similar challenges in each home. The notion of a home being positively or negatively changed is subjective; however, Douglass's narrative implies that the change was not a positive one, as he states, "I looked for home elsewhere, and was confident of finding none which I should relish less than the one which I was leaving." This counters the claim that McCoy's home changes were always positive.
