There isn't a specific poem mentioned in your question, so I am unable to provide a specific answer. However, there could be various reasons why people at the dock might be excited at the beginning of a poem. Some possibilities could include:
A. The return of a loved one or a beloved figure who has been away for a long time.
B. The anticipation of an important event or celebration taking place on the vessel.

Without further context, it is challenging to determine the exact reason for the excitement in the poem.
To determine the answer, we need to analyze the given options and find evidence in the poem to support one of them. Let’s look at each option and see how to find the answer:
A. To verify if the people at the dock are excited because all the slaves and indentured servants have been freed, we need to find a line or phrase in the poem that shows the slaves and servants being freed. Look for any mentions of freedom or liberation for these individuals.
B. To see if the excitement is due to meeting a famous captain known for his adventures, we should search for a line or reference that suggests the captain is well-known and admired.
C. If the dockside excitement is because the vessel has returned safely after a dangerous mission, we should search for any lines that indicate a perilous journey or mission.
D. If the captain has brought home prisoners of war and this is the reason for the excitement, we should search for any lines about prisoners of war or captives being brought back to the dock.
By reading through the poem, we can locate key lines or references that align with one of the options.
