Question

1. how does the quote in paragraph 2, \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\ contribute to the development of ideas in the text?

a. it shows how thankful freed slaves were of harriet tubman.
b. it provides an example of harriet tubmans secret accomplishments.
c. it depicts the journey to freedom as a difficult one.
d. it expresses frederick douglasss desire for more people to know about harriet tubmans accomplishments.

Explanation:

The quote emphasizes that Tubman's heroic work freeing enslaved people was only seen by a small group of those she helped, implying Douglass is highlighting that her impact is underrecognized and pushing for broader awareness of her achievements. The other options are incorrect: there is no focus on gratitude (A), the quote frames her work as underseen rather than just secret (B), and the focus is not on the difficulty of the journey but on the lack of broader recognition of her actions (C).

Answer:

D. It expresses Frederick Douglass's desire for more people to know about Harriet Tubman's accomplishments.
