Question

which statement best describes how wheatleys word choice in \a hymn to the evening\ expresses her colonial values? using hyperbole, it stresses admiration and praise for god. using figurative language, it celebrates the american colonies. using the language of supplication, it addresses the importance of prayer. using traditional poetic language and devices, it discusses the importance of religious beliefs.

Explanation:

In colonial - era America, religious beliefs were of great importance. Wheatley, a colonial poet, often used traditional poetic language and devices to convey religious themes. "A Hymn to the Evening" is a poem that reflects her colonial values through its focus on religious ideas. Hyperbole alone doesn't fully capture the essence of her colonial values. Celebrating the American colonies through figurative language is not the main focus of the word - choice in relation to colonial values. While supplication is part of religious practice, the overall use of language and devices in the poem is more about discussing religious beliefs in a traditional poetic way.

Answer:

Using traditional poetic language and devices, it discusses the importance of religious beliefs.
