Question

How did Frederick Douglass feel about leaving the plantation and going to Baltimore? A. He worried that the new place would be worse. B. He was devastated to say goodbye to his family and friends. C. He was terrified to leave behind the only life he knew. D. He had high hopes for a bright future

Answer 1

Correct answer for apex: He had high hopes for a bright future.

Answer 2

We learn that Frederick was very optimistic. Therefore, we can ignore the option A, because he was not worried about things being worse. He wasn't really devastated either. In fact He was quite excited, so not B either. Considering how he was optimistic, we can also ignore C, that says that he was terrified. It is quite contradictory to be terrified, devastated or expecting the worse and to be optimistic at the same time. So the correct answer must be:

D. He had high hopes for a bright future
