Question

Read these lines from Fredrick Douglass's speech "What to The Slave Is the Fourth of July?"

If I do forget, if I do not faithfully remember those bleeding children of sorrow this day, "may my right hand forget her cunning, and may my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth!"

Which definition of faithfully is most likely suited for this line?

Quietly

Lonely

Fearfully

Clearly

Answer 1

Do you have any ideas? :)

Answer 2

One way to figure this out is try to substitute each of those words into the paragraph and see which one works the best.
ORIGINAL: If I do forget, if I do not faithfully remember those bleeding children of sorrow

1) If I do forget, if I do not QUIETLY remember those bleeding children of sorrow

2) If I do forget, if I do not LONELY remember those bleeding children of sorrow

3) If I do forget, if I do not FEARFULLY remember those bleeding children of sorrow

4) If I do forget, if I do not CLEARLY remember those bleeding children of sorrow

Which reads the best? :)
