Answer:

b. It represents America as a maternal figure and other nations as her children.

Explanation:

This poem was directed to George Washington in 1775, before American Independence was declared and American's victory against the tyrannical british rule was still uncertain, but Wheatley wrote this poem to praise and keep inspiring the American Revolution “named Columbia,” which was an embodiment of freedom. Under this context, Wheatley metaphorically represents America as a maternal figure and other nations (<em>her offspring</em>) as her children:

<em>See mother earth her offspring's fate bemoan,</em>

<em>And nations gaze at scenes before unknown! </em>

Answer: 3.To dress up and parade certain streets for an hour every day, to stand talking in doorways, or drive out in a fine carriage, was not the sort of exercise she liked, and Fan would take no other.

Explanation:

The sentence that best supports Polly’s reasons for keeping her outings a secret from Fan was "To dress up and parade certain streets for an hour every day, to stand talking in doorways, or drive out in a fine carriage, was not the sort of exercise she liked, and Fan would take no other".

From the text, we can see that Polly's idea of an exercise was quite different from what Fan wanted. This is supported by the above answer and this resulted in her keeping her outing as a secret.
