Answer:
The phrase which develops the personification of Tyranny in stanza 2 is:
B. "with lawless hand had made"
Explanation:
These are the lines that matter to us:
<em>No more, America, in mournful strain
</em>
<em>Of wrongs, and grievance unredress'd complain,
</em>
<em>No longer shalt thou dread the iron chain,
</em>
<em>Which wanton Tyranny with lawless hand
</em>
<em>Had made, and with it meant t' enslave the land.</em>
Notice how this whole excerpt refers to tyranny and how America is free of it. However, <u>the question wants us to find the phrase that develops the personification of Tyranny.</u>
<u>Personification is a figure of speech that allows authors to give human qualities or characteristics to objects, animals, or even ideas. Tyranny is not a human, thus it should not have hands. Yet, the author gives Tyranny a hand, a "lawless hand" as a matter of fact, which personifies Tyranny. We can imagine it as a human being, crafting the iron chain that would torture thousands of people for so long.</u>
