      1. The word that would make the sentence more negative if it replaced “hindered” is C) prohibited. “Prohibited” implies that the daughter is not just hindered but is outright forbidden from escaping, which is a stronger negative connotation.

      2. The word that would best replace “repose” in the sentence to convey a similar meaning is A) peace. “Peace” captures the essence of a state of calm or rest, which aligns well with the meaning of “repose.”

      3. The statement that best summarizes Passage 2 is B) Douglass took a job to save for his escape, and he wished that he could bring his family with him. This option highlights Douglass’s efforts toward his escape and his desire to include his family, reflecting key themes in his narrative.
