A safe house is a house that slaves are safe in. An abolitionists usually owned the house and slaves knew it was a safe house by a light in the window! <There were other ways but that was the main one.>
my best guess is that the teacher is wanting you to tell them about the special quilts. the home owner would put out as a sign for slaves to know they are going in the right direction and that if a particular home was a underground safe house or no. different patterns would mean different things.

Slaves relied on word of mouth and secret signals to identify safe houses, such as a specific lantern light or a hidden symbol.

Additionally, trusted individuals known as "conductors" would guide the slaves to safety.
