a mood of defiance and anger


B.
a mood of troubled doubt

Answer 1

I think it's B....

Answer 2

@mipie13 are you able to help me?

Answer 3

I think so. I read this book a few months ago.
Its definitely not C or D.

Answer 4

If its based off of THIS paragraph, I'd say B.
BUT in the book it said something about his master forbidding her to teach Douglass how to read actually made him WANT to learn how to read and he was defiant and secretly learned how to read. So then I'd say A.
Since its asking about that particular part, I'd go with B.
