Answer: The Narrator meant that Freeman's risky actions had given had freedom.

Explanation:

Alexander Freeman was granted Manumission which is freedom from slavery by the British after she joined their side in the American Revokution. What the British did not know was that she was a woman masquerading as a man so that she could be allowed to fight.

This was a huge gamble that paid off in a sense because she was granted freedom from slavery. However, the narrator said this was "in a sense" because the freedom was granted to her male alter ego, Alexander and not her.

The Prince Waits. <br><br> Which excerpt from the text best establishes the setting of this passage?
tangare [24]

I believe the correct answer is: “Dipping his fingers languidly into the cool pond, he delicately plucked out an oval-shaped purple leaf…”

 

     The setting of the narrative represents the place where narrative is being unfolded – its surroundings, position. This quotation is the best contribution to the setting as it describes the place where the story begins or where story happens (at the edge of the wide, sloping lawn, the tall, green fronds of bamboo waved, as mild as grazing sheep, and the politely clicking melody of wooden wind chimes wafted from the weathered pine balcony of his twelve-bedroom cottage).


     Therefore, the excerpt from the text best establishes the setting of this passage is:

     "Dipping his fingers languidly into the cool pond, he delicately plucked out an oval-shaped purple leaf with fine-toothed edges, then let it drop so he could capture a newer one, a larger, brilliantly red leaf whose crinkled surface curled like the palm of a hand. Behind him, at the edge of the wide, sloping lawn, the tall, green fronds of bamboo waved, as mild as grazing sheep, and the politely clicking melody of wooden wind chimes wafted from the weathered pine balcony of his twelve-bedroom cottage."
