Read this excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.
Which detail from the passage is evidence that Douglas has
few material possessions while he is enslaved?
I spent the time in washing, not so much because I wished
to, but because Mrs. Lucretia had told me I must get all the
dead skin off my feet and knees before I could go to
Baltimore; for the people in Baltimore were very cleanly, and
would laugh at me if I looked dirty. Besides, she was going to
give me a pair of trousers, which I should not put on unless I
got all the dirt off me. The thought of owning a pair of
trousers was great indeed! It was almost a sufficient motive,
not only to make me take off what would be called by pig-
drovers the mange, but the skin itself. I went at it in good
eamest, working for the first time with the hope of reward,
Mrs. Lucretia had told me I must get all the dead skin off
my feet and knees...
O Mhe people in Baltimore were very cleanly, and would
laugh at me if I looked dirty.
O The thought of owning a pair of trousers was great
indeed!
O I went at it in good earnest, working for the first time with
the hope of reward.

Read this passage: many manufacturers prefer plastic as a material for containers because it can be molded into many shapes. but plastic is not very strong. it must be fused with glass or steel for strength. it is also not very durable. even the strongest plastic can break under enough pressure. the biggest disadvantage to using plastic is that it does not decompose. while plastic can be recycled, doing so is tedious and difficult. while it may be more expensive and difficult to work with, aluminum is a much stronger building material with far greater tensile strength. it conducts electricity because it is metal. best of all, aluminum is very easy to recycle. even if it is thrown away, it decomposes much more quickly than most manufacturing materials. how does the compare-and-contrast organizational pattern of the passage support the author's purpose? a. the passage gradually leads up to the point about decomposition to inform the reader about the importance of recycling plastics. b. the passage lists the advantages and disadvantages of each material to make a case for the use of plastic and not aluminum in containers. c. the passage begins with a description of plastic's problems in order to call attention to the good qualities of aluminum. d. the passage shows the superiority of aluminum in order to make a case for the production of stronger plastics.
