Read the excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.
We were all ranked together at the valuation. Men and women, old and young, married and single, were ranked with horses, sheep, and swine. There were horses and men, cattle and women, pigs and children, all holding the same rank in the scale of being, and were all subjected to the same narrow examination. Silvery-headed age and sprightly youth, maids and matrons, had to undergo the same indelicate inspection.
Which best states the cause/effect relationship expressed in the excerpt?
A.Cause: The enslaved persons are treated inhumanely at the examination.
Effect: Douglass makes an attempt to run away.
B.Cause: All the enslaved persons are ranked together for inspection.
Effect: Douglass is separated from his family.
C.Cause: Douglass witnesses the inhumane treatment of enslaved persons.
Effect: He becomes more aware of the brutality of slavery.
D.Cause: Douglass is examined and determined to be valuable.
Effect: He is sent back home to Baltimore.

The correct answer is option C. Cause - Douglass witnesses inhumane treatment of enslaved persons. Effect - He becomes more aware of the brutality of slavery. Frederick Douglass hated those wealthy people who treated their slaves badly. He used the term ' slaveholders ' to express his anger on their behaviour. His poor grandmother was also a slave her entire life.
