Which of the following best shows douglass’s writing style of showing both negative and positive points of view? “not that it would injure me, but it might embarrass them.” “the slave was made to say some very smart … things … which had the desired though unexpected effect.” “nothing seemed to make her more angry than to see me with a newspaper.” “i would at times feel that learning to read had been a curse rather than a blessing.”

The correct answer is:

“not that it would injure me, but it might embarrass them.”

Douglass here makes two statements. Points out the positive fact (it would not injure him) and the negative fact (it might embarrass them).

The correct answer is “not that it would injure me, but it might embarrass them.”

Explanation:

To explain this answer, let's discard options:

Letter B is incorrect because the passage doesn't seem to be clear by itself when it refers to the positive or negative impact.

Letter C only shows a negative point of view when it describes how angry the woman.

Letter D also focuses on a negative point of view since the speaker believes that reading had been a curse.

Letter A shows two clauses: the first one is the positive effect, while the second one shows the negative effects.
