Read the excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. My new mistress proved to be all she appeared when I first met her at the door,--a woman of the kindest heart and finest feelings. She had never had a slave under her control previously to myself, and prior to her marriage she had been dependent upon her own industry for a living. She was by trade a weaver; and by constant application to her business, she had been in a good degree preserved from the blighting and dehumanizing effects of slavery. I was utterly astonished at her goodness. What effect does Douglass’s use of the adjectives "blighting and dehumanizing” have on the reader? They create an image of the quality of the mistress’s weaving.
They emphasize the damage slavery causes to a slaveholder’s character.
They describe the harsh treatment that Douglass received from his mistress.
They illustrate the mistress’s kindness toward Douglass.

Explanation:

They're describing the harsh treatment that Douglass received from the mistress. Basically dehumanizing is treating another human inhumanly. Treating someone in an inhumane way also means to be cruel. also, you can use context clues from the paragraph "when I first met her at the door,--a woman of the kindest heart and finest feelings." This is past tense.
