I understand that this SC was discussed a number of times. However, I tweaked one answer choice to make it more interesting  . Can someone explain the difference between 'herself an escaped slave' and 'an escaped slave herself'? Any native speakers?

I don't think they are different.
I just went for the better of the two.
I guess if you had something like this,
Sam dint want to hang around with slaves, herself an escaped slave.....I guess this would be ok.
