Select TWO sentences in the passage that best show that the narrator, Frederick Douglass, is fond of Mrs. Auld.

Excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass

" Very soon after I went to live with Mr. and Mrs. Auld, she very kindly commenced to teach me the A, B, C. After I had learned this, she assisted me in learning to spell words of three to four letters. Just at this point of my progress, Mr. Auld found out what was going on, and at once forbade Mrs. Auld to instruct me any further, telling her, among other things, that it was unlawful, as well as unsafe, to teach a slave to read. . . . "Now," said he, "if you teach that [slave] (speaking of myself) how to read, there would be no keeping him as it would forever unfit him to be a slave. He would at once become unmanageable, and of no value to his master. As to himself, it could do him no good, but a great deal of harm. It would make him discontented and unhappy."

Answer:

Mrs. Auld, she very kindly commenced to teach me the A, B, C. After I had learned this, she assisted me in learning to spell words of three to four letters.

Step-by-step explanation:

mrs. Aulds teaching abc’s was nurturing or “Kind” this implies she was kind and he was responsive to her demeanor as we can infer when someone is kind to us, we too, become fond of that person. The second sentence describes mrs auld as being helpful in assisting f. Douglas. . . Again when people are kind and helpful towards another, it is usually well received and reciprocated.
