Question

1. part a: which statement identifies the central idea of the letter? a. harriet tubman contributed to the abolitionist movement in mostly unknown, unrecognized ways. b. frederick douglass is upset that not more people know about harriet tubmans contributions to the abolitionist movement. c. the accomplishments that go unknown are more important than those recognized and appreciated by the public. d. the sacrifices that harriet tubman made for the abolitionist movement can be rivaled by no one.

Explanation:

This refers to Frederick Douglass' open letter to Harriet Tubman, where he explicitly expresses frustration that her life-saving, high-risk work freeing enslaved people received far less public recognition and acclaim than his own speaking and writing work in the abolitionist movement. The other options are incorrect: A is false as her work was known to abolitionists, C is not the central focus, and D overstates the core point (the focus is on recognition, not that no one can rival her sacrifices).

Answer:

B. Frederick Douglass is upset that not more people know about Harriet Tubman's contributions to the abolitionist movement.
