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>

Which pair of sentences would be most appropriate to combine using a conjunction? Question 17 options: Grandpa says he was an av
lidiya [134]

The answer is:  

My mother is very tall but my father is even taller.

Conjunctions join clauses, words and phrases and they are usually used to avoid a sequence of short sentences. For example, <em>and, but, </em>and <em>or</em>.

In this case, the most suitable sentences to combine with a conjunction like "but" are the ones whose subjects are related (mother and father) and whose predicates have a similar structure: both describe height and one has a comparative form of the adjective tall, so they can be easily joined.
