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.

explanation:

the silver bells of the sleds are merry and keep time in the winter nights while the sky twinkles happily. the golden bells of weddings are delightful in their peaceful happiness, foretelling a rapturous future. meanwhile, the brazen alarm bells scream frightfully in the night, with a discordant and desperate sound. in their clamor, these bells convey terror, horror, and anger. finally, the iron bells are solemn and melancholy, while those in the church steeple are like ghouls who feel happiness. the king of the ghouls, who rings the bells, cheerfully keeps time with the moaning and groaning bells.
