What would make Douglass’ task “light” and “delightful”?
A) granting the slaves freedom to truly enjoy independence
B) speaking on a day when the sun was warm and bright
C) getting the benefit of a even a small fee for making this speech
D) being reimbursed for his labor and sufferings as a slave
The correct answer is A) granting the slaves freedom to truly enjoy independence.
Explanation: In the context of Frederick Douglass’s speeches, the notion of making his task “light” and “delightful” relates to the idea that true freedom and independence for the enslaved would bring him joy and ease in discussing their plight. The liberation of slaves would mean there was something genuinely hopeful and positive to communicate, making his advocacy feel rewarding rather than burdensome.
