Question

read the excerpt from \on liberty and slavery.\ oh, liberty! thou golden prize, so often sought by blood— we crave thy sacred sun to rise, the gift of natures god! bid slavery hide her haggard face, and barbarism fly: i scorn to see the sad disgrace in which enslaved i lie. dear liberty! upon thy breast, i languish to respire; and like the swan upon her nest, id to thy smiles retire. oh, blest asylum—heavenly balm! unto thy boughs i flee— and in thy shades the storm shall calm, what does this excerpt express about the experience of freedom? freedom is a human right every person deserves. freedom can only be achieved in certain locations. people can lose hope when they have no freedom. the meaning of freedom differs among people.

Explanation:

The poem expresses a strong desire for freedom. Phrases like "We crave thy sacred sun to rise" and "I languish to respire" under slavery show a loss of hope without freedom. The other options are not supported: there's no mention of freedom being a universal human right (no discussion of rights in general), no indication of specific locations for freedom, and no exploration of different meanings of freedom among people.

Answer:

People can lose hope when they have no freedom.
