Answer 1

The question is culled from an English exercise involving the pairing of passages, one by Henry W. Grady and the other by Frederick Douglass.

• The subject of both passages refers to the interest of both men in the reconstruction of the South after the civil war.

• From the 6th paragraph of Henry W. Grady's passage and the 11th paragraph of Frederick Douglass, it is easy to see that both men are advocating for the reconstruction of the railroads.

• Grady's opinion is that the reconstruction of the railroads will aid the development of the South.

The correct answer, therefore, is option D.
