3. Douglass first responds to Tubman's request by saying:
You ask for what you do not need when you call upon me for a word of commendation. I need such words from you for
more than you can need them from me...
What is his reason for stating that Tubman has no need for his words of praise?
A. He suggests her contributions to the abolitionist cause have been even greater than his own.
B. He believes truly good deeds do not require recognition.
C. He implies that he is in greater need of public support than she.
D. He believes Harriet Tubman's public reputation is so strong that it needs no further accolades. HELP PLEASE.
