Which of the following is allowed during the exam?

Identify the title: As from my tent I emerge so early sleepless, As slow I walk in the cool fresh air the path near by the hospital tent, Three forms I see on stretchers lying, brought out there untended lying, Over each the blanket spread, ample brownish woolen blanket, Gray and heavy blanket, folding, covering all. Curious I halt and silent stand, Then with light fingers I from the face of the nearest the first just lift the blanket . . .

Identify the title: My father was a white man. He was admitted to be such by all I ever heard speak of my parentage.

I was able to escape slavery and hide for years to be close to my children. I wrote what I endured from the jealousy of the mistress of the house as well as the actions of the husband.
