"President Lincoln's Declaration of Emancipation, January 1, 1863 bu Frances E. W. Harper
It shall flash through coming ages,
It shall light the distant years;
And eyes now dim with sorrow
Shall be brighter through their tears
IT shall flush the mountain ranges,
And the valleys shall grow bright;
It shall bathe the hills in radiance,
And crown their brows with light
It shall flood with golden splendor
All the huts of Caroline;
And the sun-kissed brow of labor
With lustre new shall shine.
It shall gild the gloomy prison,
Darkened by the nation's crime,
Where the dumb and patient millions
Wait the better-coming time.
By the light that gilds their prison
They shall see its mouldering key;
And the bolts and bars shall vibrate
With the triumphs of the free.
Though the morning seemed to linger
O'er the hill-tops far away,
Now the shadows bear the promise
Of the quickly coming day.
Soon the mists and murky shadows
Shall be fringed with crimson light,
And the glorious dawn freedom
Break refulgent on the sight.

(See definition 2.a.)
For #4:
This is why I dislike test questions on poetry. Each person is expected to interpret it for him/herself.
You can stick with your choice; I think the first paraphrase is closer to the original.
You choose according to what YOU think.

Okay so don't get mad at me. I looked at that site and now I come come up with two answer choices: B or D?
Oh, I'm not mad. Just making sure you are clear on the definitions of the words in the question.
LITERAL, right?
Where in that whole poem does it mention President Lincoln's name or the Emancipation Proclamation by name?
Of those four choices, which ONE is literally a description in that poem?
