The excerpt given above is taken from Phillis Wheatley's poem "On Being Brought from Africa to America". The word sable literally means color black. In this line, Wheatley uses the word "sable" to indicate sense of inferiority. The author is an African and their race color is different from the rest.

This question does not make sense.
The answer is option C: It specifies that the freedoms granted by the Emancipation Proclamation apply only in rebel states.

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read the following passage and answer the question.

a) He is disappointed that his gifts are not appreciated.
b) He wishes he had not given away his favorite coat.
c) He worries that his employees are suffering.
d) He feels that people should be content with what they have.
