B. 36-40. Read the passage below. In the passage, Douglass explains that slavery was humiliating. Underline
examples from the text that most clearly supports this idea. (5points)

In a very short time after I went to live at Baltimore, my old master’s youngest son Richard died; and in
about three years and six months after his death, my old master, Captain Anthony, died, leaving only his son, Andrew, and
daughter, Lucretia, to share his estate. He died while on a visit to see his daughter at Hillsborough. Cut off thus
unexpectedly, he left no will as to the disposal of his property. It was therefore necessary to have a valuation of the
property, that it might be equally divided between Mrs. Lucretia and Master Andrew. I was immediately sent for, to be
valued with the other property. Here again my feelings rose up in detestation of slavery. I had now a new conception of
my degraded condition. Prior to this, I had become, if not insensible to my lot, at least partly so. I left Baltimore with a
young heart overborne with sadness, and a soul full of apprehension. I took passage with Captain Rowe, in the schooner
Wild Cat, and, after a sail of about twenty-four hours, I found myself near the place of my birth. I had now been absent
from it almost, if not quite, fi ve years. I, however, remembered the place very well. I was only about fi ve years old when I
left it, to go and live with my old master on Colonel Lloyd’s plantation; so that I was now between ten and eleven years
old. We were all ranked together at the valuation. Men and women, old and young, married and single, were ranked with
horses, sheep, and swine. There were horses and men, cattle and women, pigs and children, all holding the same rank in
the scale of being, and were all subjected to the same narrow examination. Silvery-headed age and sprightly youth, maids
and matrons, had to undergo the same indelicate inspection. At this moment, I saw more clearly than ever the brutalizing
effects of slavery upon both slave and slaveholder.
