Answer:
The correct answer is option A. Douglas suffers mental torture as well as physical violence.
Explanation:
During the time Douglass was sent with Covey, he suffered horrible physical and verbal abuse.
This man forced slaves to work day and night on their land, no matter what the weather was. Slaves received heavy blows as punishment, as a way to generate greater productivity, or simply for no reason because Covey was ruthless.
People were brutal to slaves because they were afraid that they would reveal themselves, so sometimes they whipped them for no reason.
His stay here generated great changes in Douglass, who was emotionally devastated until one day he got tired of this and revealed himself against Covey, emerging victorious.
This allowed Covey not to bother him for a long time, and personally served Douglass to have faith again.
