Question

select all the correct answers. read this excerpt from narrative of the life of frederick douglass, an american slave: after the valuation, then came the division. i have no language to express the high excitement and deep anxiety which were felt among us poor creatures then. our fate for life was now to be decided. we had no more voice in that decision than the brutes among whom we were ranked. a single word from the white men was enough — against all our wishes, prayers, and entreaties — to sunder forever the dearest bonds known to human beings. which two cruel realities regarding slavery does douglass describe in this excerpt? being temporarily divided by job being treated like property being kept in small living quarters being separated from family

Explanation:

1. Analyze "being treated like property": Slavery involved treating enslaved people as property, bought and sold, which is a cruel reality of slavery. The excerpt's context of division (like property division) supports this.
2. Analyze "being separated from family": The excerpt mentions "sunder forever the dearest bonds" (family bonds), so separation from family is described.
3. "being temporarily divided by job": The excerpt's division is permanent (forever) and about family/social bonds, not job - related temporary division.
4. "being kept in small living quarters": The excerpt has no mention of living quarters.

Answer:

being treated like property, being separated from family
