Question

Which lines from "The Star-Spangled Banner" convey a feeling of suspense about what happened after the battle? "What is that which the breeze . . . half conceals, half discloses?" "And where is that band who so vauntingly swore . . . A home and a country should leave us no more" "Then conquer we must, when our cause is just." "No refuge could save the hireling and slave"

Answer 1

Explanation: seems to be the best answer

Answer 2

Answer:

First option is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The Star-Spangled Banner is the U.S. National Anthem. Even though it was adopted by the Navy in 1889, Woodrow Wilson was the first American President who took it in 1916. The Congress made it official until 1931.

The lines in option A belong to the second stanza of the anthem, and there suspense can be inferred because of some signs: first one, is the question mark at the end of the excerpt; another one is the question itself, "...half conceals, half discloses?", which indicates uncertainty or suspense right after battle.
