Read this excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.

The most of my leisure time I spent in helping Master Daniel Lloyd in finding his birds, after he had shot them. My connection with Master Daniel was of some advantage to me. He became quite attached to me, and was a sort of protector of me. He would not allow the older boys to impose upon me, and would divide his cakes with me.

The prediction best supported by the information provided is: Master Lloyd will show favoritism to Douglass because they are companionable.

This is indicated by the fact that Douglass mentions his connection with Master Daniel being advantageous, that Daniel became quite attached to him, and that he acted as a protector by not allowing older boys to impose on him. This suggests a relationship of favoritism and companionship.
