Question 9 • 2026 Summer 305 ELA/ESOL CR_Grade 7

In Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, what was the effect of Captain Anthony dying without a will?

Answer
A
Douglass was given his freedom.
B
Douglass was subjected to “valuation.”
C
Douglass was sent to live with Master Andrew.
D
Douglass ran away to the North.

Explanation

After Captain Anthony died without a will, his property—including the enslaved people he claimed as property—was divided among his heirs. Douglass and the others were subjected to “valuation,” meaning they were appraised and distributed. This did not give Douglass his freedom; the correct choice is “Douglass was subjected to ‘valuation.’”
