Answer:
- The detail from the text that is an example of the main symbol employed by Key in this poem is<em> E: "land of the free".</em>
- The line that best describes the poet's perspective in this section of the poem is <em>D: Pride that the United States withstood the attack by the British.</em>
Explanation:
In this first answer I chose E because the "<em>land of the free</em>" is in this excerpt represented by the flag that remains waving. For the speaker, it is very important to see that flag because it means that they still own that land, the land they fought for, that took so much effort for them to defend from the British, the land where the free and the brave live now.
In this second answer I chose D because along the excerpt we can notice the speaker's pride when describing his land, their land, the one that after so much effort they won for the people. It is very clear his feeling when we read: "O! say can you see, by the dawn's early light, / <u>What so proudly we hail'd</u> at the twilight's last gleaming,".
