a
On the 2d of July, 1776, the old Continental Congress, to the dismay of the lovers of ease, and the worshipers of property, clothed that dreadful idea with all the authority of national sanction. They did so in the form of a resolution; and as we seldom hit upon resolutions, drawn up in our day whose transparency is at all equal to this, it may refresh your minds and help my story if I read it. “Resolved, That these united colonies are, and of right, ought to be free and Independent States; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown; and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, dissolved.”
b
If I do forget, if I do not faithfully remember those bleeding children of sorrow this day, “may my right hand forget her cunning, and may my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth!” To forget them, to pass lightly over their wrongs, and to chime in with the popular theme, would be treason most scandalous and shocking, and would make me a reproach before God and the world. My subject, then fellow-citizens, is AMERICAN SLAVERY.

The blessings in which you, this day, rejoice, are not enjoyed in common. — The rich inheritance of justice, liberty, prosperity and independence, bequeathed by your fathers, is shared by you, not by me. The sunlight that brought life and healing to you, has brought stripes and death to me. This Fourth [of] July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn. To drag a man in fetters into the grand illuminated temple of liberty, and call upon him to join you in joyous anthems, were inhuman mockery and sacrilegious irony. Do you mean, citizens, to mock me, by asking me to speak to-day?
The quality of a poem that pleases the ear through a harmonious combination of words is known as euphony. Euphony refers to the pleasant, melodious sound created by the arrangement of words and phrases in a poem.
To identify the correct answer choice, let's examine each option:
a) Foot: A foot is a unit of measurement in poetry that refers to a combination of stressed and unstressed syllables. While it plays a role in the rhythmic structure of a poem, it is not specifically associated with pleasing the ear through a harmonious combination of words.
b) Alliteration: Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in words or syllables. While it can add musicality and emphasis to a poem, it is not solely focused on creating a harmonious combination of words.
c) Rhyme: Rhyme is the repetition of similar sounds at the end of words or phrases. While rhyme can contribute to the overall pleasing sound of a poem, it does not encompass the entire concept of euphony.
d) Euphony: Euphony is the correct answer. It specifically refers to the quality of a poem that pleases the ear through a harmonious combination of words. Euphonic poems often have a musical quality and flow smoothly when read aloud.
Therefore, the correct choice is d) Euphony.
