After reading "How Santa Claus Found the Poor-House," by Sophie Swett, we can say that the quotation that gives evidence to Part A is:
C. "He had become so accustomed to looking for a bright side that he could find one when you wouldn't have thought there was any there." ( Paragraph 28)
In Part A, we were asked about how Gobaly's attitude changed while he was shoveling snow.
The answer is that he was initially upset that it would not be a happy Christmas. However, his conversation with Methuselah reminds him to be positive.
Methuselah is weaker than Gobaly, so Gobaly feels very protective of him. They are both orphans who live at the Poor-House.
Whenever Gobaly is around Methuselah, he looks for the bright side of things so that his friend will be happy.
In their conversation about Christmas, Gobaly is trying to cheer Methuselah up. That is what makes his attitude change.
With the information above in mind, we can choose letter C as the best option.

Answer:
The literary technique used in all three examples is <u>metaphor</u>.
Explanation:
<u>A metaphor is a figure of speech that makes an indirect comparison. </u>Unlike a simile -- a direct comparison --, which uses the support words "as" or "like", a metaphor does not use any support words. It simply states that thing A is thing B, instead of thing A is like thing B. For example:
- Your eyes are like stars. -- simile
- Your eyes are stars. -- metaphor
The purpose of a metaphor is to attribute the characteristics of one thing to another by comparing them, even if in reality they are not similar at all. When I say someone's eyes are stars, I don't mean it literally, of course. I refer to their beautiful brightness.
<u>That is precisely what Douglass does in all three examples in the question. Slavery does not literally have bitter dregs. It is not a dark night. The vessels were not ghosts. Douglass is making these indirect comparisons to attribute characteristics of one thing to the other. On dark nights, we can feel scared, lost, hopeless. By saying slavery is a dark night, Douglass may mean slavery made him feel that way.</u>
