Your answer would be B. He's talking about not being able to prove his age because he hasn't never seen a real record of his birth or anything else that would give him an idea of how old he is, so no real way to actually prove it.

Answer from: mikeeway33

B. Both describe information that cannot be proved.

Explanation:

Frederick Douglass was a former slave who became a staunch supporter of the abolition of slavery and the freedom of the blacks in America. His memoir "Narratives of The Life of Frederick Douglass" provides a detailed depiction of his childhood life and the events leading to his freedom.

Douglass's use of the words "authentic" and "accurate" shows that he is unaware of the truth about his own existence, for there are no ways for him to prove them. Asserting that he has no "accurate knowledge" of his own age, he is unsure of how to even say how old he is. Then, if that wasn't enough, he again asserts that he has never "seen any accurate record" that contains even a tiny bit of detail about his age or birth. These two words gave the impression that Douglass may have wanted to know his real age and his birth or life, but the unavailability of any record makes it otherwise hard. the use of both words gave a description of how there are no information to prove his age or his birth.

(2) it also kept predators away, allowing early humans to sleep securely. (3) fire, in fact, has been a significant factor in human development and progress in many ways. (4) other obvious benefits of fire are its uses in cooking and in hunting. (5) probably even more important, however, is that learning to control fire allowed people to change the very rhythm of their lives. (6) before fire, the human daily cycle coincided with the rising and setting of the sun. (7) with fire, though, humans gained time to think and talk about the day’s events and to prepare strategies for coping with tomorrow. the sentence that expresses the main idea is: (type the number of the sentence. then click “go.”)

Read the excerpt from "a defence of poetry.” poetry thus makes immortal all that is best and most beautiful in the world; it arrests the vanishing apparitions which haunt the interlunations of life, and veiling them, or in language or in form, sends them forth among mankind, bearing sweet news of kindred joy to those with whom their sisters abide—abide, because there is no portal of expression from the caverns of the spirit which they inhabit into the universe of things. poetry redeems from decay the visitations of the divinity in man. which details from the excerpt provide more information about shelley’s idea that poetry "makes immortal all that is best and most beautiful in the world”? check all that apply. arrests the vanishing apparitions which haunt the interlunations of life sends them forth among mankind, bearing sweet news to those with whom their sisters abide no portal of expression from the caverns of the spirit redeems from decay the visitations of the divinity in man
