Read this excerpt from narrative of the life of frederick douglass: we were not regularly allowanced. our food was coarse corn-meal boiled, this was called mush. it was put into a large wooden tray or trough, and set down upon the ground. the children were then called, like so many pigs, and like so many pigs they would come and devour the mush; some with oystershells, others with pieces of shingle, some with naked hands, and none with spoons. he that ate fastest got most; he that was strongest secured the best place; and few left the trough satisfied. which best explains how douglass uses objectivity to convey his perspective in this passage? a. he uses formal word choice, like "allowanced" and "secured," to establish his authority. b. he includes details, such as "wooden tray" and "oystershells," that verify his experience. c. he avoids sentimentality by simply describing the conditions in which enslaved people lived. d. he creates pathos by referring to his hunger to make readers feel sorry for him.
