Answer:

The two meanings of turbulent

Explanation:

One meaning of the adjective <em>Turbulent </em>= Characterized by conflict, disorder, or confusion, not controlled or calm. When related to the noun <em>air </em>or <em>water </em>it means moving unsteadily or violently.

In these lines the author uses the analogy of water (stream) with humans to describe the <em>downward-flowing</em> (water seeks for the lowest point; humanity seeks for surviving) evacuees that could become a disordered and violent human conflict.

Which of the following sentences best describes Douglass’s opinion about slavery? A.Slavery relies on the conscience to maintain
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. Slavery is a degrading institution to all those involved.

Explanation:

As Douglass narrates, slavery not only degrades slaves, but slavers as well. He tells of all the aberrations that he suffered from the slavers and you can see how those people reach the lowest point that a human being can reach.

Even Sophia Auld, who started out as a kind person and who taught Douglass, ended up being despicable because of the power that being a slave trader brought.

Given this information we can say that the correct answer is option C.
