Answer:
The best answer (cannot see any bold wording) is (4) Years ago, the founding father created the United States.

Four score (4 x twenty) and seven equal eighty-seven. The speech was given in 1863, in the middle of the Civil War. 1863 Minus 87 equals 1776, the year the declaration of independence was written.

Incomplete question. Assumed you are referring to the poem "The Hollow Men" by T. S. Eliot. The options read;
a. swollen with excess water.
c. shallow and muddy.
b. icy and cold.
d. cluttered with leaves and trash.
Answer:
<u>a. swollen with excess water.</u>
Explanation:
Indeed, in that poem one of the lines of the poem reads;
<em>"In this last of meeting places
</em>
<em> We grope together
</em>
<em> And avoid speech
</em>
<em> Gathered on this beach of the tumid river".</em>
The expression "tumid" used could also mean, <em>"swollen", </em><u>hence, the context suggests the author is referring to a river that is swollen with excess water.</u>
