The BEST main idea for the selection is: Frederick Douglass wrote an autobiography to raise more awareness about slavery.

This option captures the essence of Douglass's life work and highlights his efforts to educate others about the realities of slavery, which is likely a central theme of the selection. The other options focus on specific aspects of his life but do not encompass the broader significance of his writing and advocacy.
