Explanation:

The text from The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass states he wants to name the boys who taught him as a testimonial of gratitude, but prudence stops him. This matches the idea he wishes he could thank them. The other options are incorrect: he doesn't say he's embarrassed to admit it, he doesn't fear punishment for teaching them, and he doesn't call the action inappropriate.

Answer:

He wishes he could thank the young boys who taught him to read.
