Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The tone presented by Douglass in his speech "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July," is forceful and angry.
Douglass expressed his anger on the celebration of American independence in which African-Americans still lived in bond as slaves. A country where not every citizen enjoys equality, justice, and freedom.
By using the rhetorical question, Douglass is conveying his grief for being called to speak something about American independence day, whereas his fellow brothers and sisters are in slavery.
Therefore, the tone of the excerpt is angry and forceful. Thus option B is correct.
