Answer:

The word "Goddess" refers to freedom, which is part of the main theme of this poem.

Explanation:

In this poem by Phillis Wheatley, the fight for freedom led by General Washington can be seen as the main theme.

The author of the poem uses the word Goddess to emphasize this meaning, because that is what freedom is: a great "Goddess", the one who frees us and lets us live in peace.

Let's look at the following quote from the poem:

Proceed, great chief, with virtue on thy side, 

Thy ev'ry action let the Goddess guide. 

A crown, a mansion, and a throne that shine, 

With gold unfading, WASHINGTON! Be thine.

The answers that would complete the sentences are as follows:
Jose reads the daily paper. This uses the present form of the verb because it denotes a habit. Earl can't go to the game today. This is the contraction of the words can and not. Mia said the movie was good. The past form of the verb is used because the action has been completed. Jeff needs the letter mailed. This sentence uses the -ed form of the verb, but functions as an adjective which describes the noun letter.
