Read the excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.
I was eager to hear anyone speak of slavery. I was a ready listener. Every little while, I could hear something about the abolitionists. It was some time before I found what the word meant. It was always used in such connections as to make it an interesting word to me. If a slave ran away and succeeded in getting clear, or if a slave killed his master, set fire to a barn, or did anything very wrong in the mind of a slaveholder, it was spoken of as the fruit of abolition. Hearing the word in this connexion very often, I set about learning what it meant. The dictionary afforded me little or no help. I found it was "the act of abolishing;" but then I did not know what was to be abolished. Here I was perplexed.
Douglass’s purpose in this excerpt is to
a. argue against abolition.
explain his discovery of abolition.
c. teach the history of abolition.
d. define the word “abolition.”

Answer:
Explaining the discovery of abolition.
Explanation:
You see if he had meant to define he would have straight away would have told us,he doesn't share any of his opinion all he tell us is eager about the speech regarding slavery. If he really wanted us to teach about it he would have used to described himself as a third person but he did teach us too but it is only close but it isn't correct option.
Hope it helps.
