Answer 1

Frederick Douglass wants his speech to focus on the freedom celebrated on July 4th that is marred by the injustice of American slavery, as shown in option A.

We can arrive at this answer because:

• Douglass claims that the celebration of American independence on the 4th of July is something of a hypocrite.
• That's because, on that day, Americans celebrate freedom, but freedom is not established in America, as it is stained by slavery.
• Douglass did not understand why he was invited to speak that day, as his people, other African Americans, were not free, but they were being denied their freedom.

With this, Douglass reinforces the idea that American freedom is a lie, tarnished and corrupted by slavery in the country.
