By calling old ironsides the "eagle of the sea" in the poem's second stanza, holmes uses
symbolism to associate the ship with the strength of the united states
hyperbole to exaggerate the importance of the ship to the united states
onomatopoeia to link the ship to the sounds it makes when moving in the water
personification to give the ship, an inanimate object, human traits and qualities

for me, i'd go with (c) satisfied or (b) overjoyed because if you read it a couple of times, it makes since that it is c or b. it can't b (a) angry because booker was never angry about anything. at the end of the paragraph, booker states, "i think there are not many men in our country who have had the privilege of naming themselves in the way that i " i think that sentence kind of gives away the also, some words in the paragraph can also you like for example, "indulged," "calmly," "perplexity," "privilege," and defining words that you don't know, can you understand more of that paragraph and it can also increase your comprehension. : )

i'm really rally sorry if i'm incorrect, but if i'm hope this ! : )
