The best answer is A) Reverent
This excerpt refers to the American Revolution (Columbia was often a way of referring to America at the time). The tone is reverent, meaning admiring or adoring. She describes the celestial choir enthroned in realms of light, which paints an almost god-like picture of the Revolution and the values that the Americans were fighting for.
C.
First of all, in this statement the speaker introduces herself and immediately lets the audience know why this topic is so important to her. Audiences are more likely to be invested in a speech if they know the speaker is personally invested in the cause. It also begins with an example of pathos--an emotional appeal to the audience--which is effective in drawing an audience in.
You want to avoid throwing a lot of numbers or other researchers' names at the audience immediately upon starting (even though you will definitely want to use those things within the speech) because they will make the tone seem too formal or fact-based before the audience has a chance to become invested.

This question is missing the poem. I've found it online. It is as follows:

Eager bee
- Rachelle Kreisman
What does the acrostic poem by Rachelle Kreisman describe? a flower in the springtime the sound of ducks quacking a young horse, galloping in a field flocks of little duckling
Answer:
The poem describes a flower in the springtime.
Explanation:
An acrostic poem uses the letters of its topic word(s) as the first letter of each line. Notice the first letters in Kreisman's poem spell flower:
Fragrant
Lovely
Opened wide
Wind blows
Eager bee
Besides that, each line of the acrostic poem offers a description related to the topic. In this case, we get to know the flower is fragrant and lovely, that it is in bloom, swaying with the wind while attracting bees. In summary, it is describing a flower in the springtime.
