"President Lincoln's Declaration of Emancipation, January 1, 1863 bu Frances E. W. Harper
It shall flash through coming ages,
It shall light the distant years;
And eyes now dim with sorrow
Shall be brighter through their tears
IT shall flush the mountain ranges,
And the valleys shall grow bright;
It shall bathe the hills in radiance,
And crown their brows with light
It shall flood with golden splendor
All the huts of Caroline;
And the sun-kissed brow of labor
With lustre new shall shine.
It shall gild the gloomy prison,
Darkened by the nation's crime,
Where the dumb and patient millions
Wait the better-coming time.
By the light that gilds their prison
They shall see its mouldering key;
And the bolts and bars shall vibrate
With the triumphs of the free.
Though the morning seemed to linger
O'er the hill-tops far away,
Now the shadows bear the promise
Of the quickly coming day.
Soon the mists and murky shadows
Shall be fringed with crimson light,
And the glorious dawn freedom
Break refulgent on the sight.

By examining the original stanza, we can see that it expresses hope and the eventual liberation of those who are imprisoned:
"It shall gild the gloomy prison,
Darkened by the nation's crime,
Where the dumb and patient millions
Wait the better-coming time.
By the light that gilds their prison
They shall see its mouldering key;
And the bolts and bars shall vibrate
With the triumphs of the free."
Among the given options, the best paraphrase of the fifth stanza would be:

Moving on to the second question about identifying sentences with a predicate adjective, we can look at the options provided:
A. When you leave, I will feel sad
B. my sister is their most valuable player
C. Their most valuable player is she
D. I will be saddened when you leave
A predicate adjective is an adjective that follows a linking verb and modifies the subject of the sentence. Let's analyze the given options:
A. "When you leave, I will feel sad." - This sentence does not have a linking verb nor a predicate adjective.
B. "My sister is their most valuable player." - This sentence includes a linking verb ("is") and the adjective "valuable" modifies the subject "player." Therefore, this sentence contains a predicate adjective.
C. "Their most valuable player is she." - Similar to the previous sentence, this sentence also includes a linking verb ("is") and the adjective "valuable" modifies the subject "player." Thus, this sentence contains a predicate adjective.
D. "I will be saddened when you leave." - This sentence uses the linking verb "will be" and the adjective "saddened" modifies the subject "I." Therefore, this sentence contains a predicate adjective.
Among the options provided, sentences B, C, and D all contain predicate adjectives.
Neither answer is correct.
