3. What is ironic about the following passage from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass?
"In 1832, my master attended a Methodist camp-meeting held in the Bayside, Talbot County, and there experienced religion. I indulged a faint hope that his conversion would lead him to emancipate his slaves, and that, if he did not do this, it would, at any rate, make him more kind and humane. It neither made him to be humane to his slaves, nor to emancipate them. If it had any effect on his character, it made him more cruel and hateful in all his ways; for I believe him to have been a much worse man after his conversion than before."
A. Master Thomas is overpowered by his new-found religion.
B. Master Thomas decides to free his slaves after finding religion.
C. His master finds religion when Douglass believed he didn't have a soul.
D. His master is crueler after finding religion than he was before.
