Question

which two details from paragraph 1 of the letter supports douglasss claim that she doesnt need a letter of recommendation from him? select the correct answers.□ \most that i have done and suffered in the service of our cause has been in public, and i have received much encouragement at every step of the way.\□ \i need such words from you far more than you can need them from me, especially where your superior labors and devotion to the cause of the lately enslaved of our land are known as i know them.\□ \i am glad to know that the story of your eventful life has been written by a kind lady, and that the same is soon to be published.\□ \the most that you have done has been witnessed by a few trembling, scarred, and foot - sore bondmen and women, whom you have led out of the house of bondage, and whose heartfelt, god bless you, has been your only reward.\

Explanation:

The correct details directly support the claim that no recommendation letter is needed by showing that Douglass's work for the cause is already publicly recognized and valued, making external recommendations unnecessary.

1. The first detail confirms public awareness and support for Douglass's efforts, meaning his reputation already speaks for itself.
2. The second detail states that his labors and devotion to the antislavery cause are already known, so a recommendation would be redundant.

Answer:

• "Most that I have done and suffered in the service of our cause has been in public, and I have received much encouragement at every step of the way."
• "I need such words from you far more than you can need them from me, especially where your superior labors and devotion to the cause of the lately enslaved of our land are known as I know them."
