I disagree with your first answer.
First, let's check your answers for the first question: "What circumstances prevented England from expanding its territories as quickly as other European nations?"
Your answer is: *Constant invasions and foreign influence, lack of a unified government, and lack of naval strength
This answer is correct. Constant invasions and foreign influence, lack of a unified government, and lack of naval strength were indeed circumstances that prevented England from expanding its territories as quickly as other European nations.
Now, let's move on to the second question: "'How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?' Which term best describes the poetic device contained within these lines from 'Land of Hope and Glory?'"
Your answer is: *Anaphora
This answer is correct. Anaphora is the correct term to describe the poetic device contained within these lines. Anaphora refers to the repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses or lines. In this case, the use of "who are born of thee" at the beginning of both lines is an example of anaphora.
