The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

What characterizes the poem, " Prospect of the future glory of America " as work from the age of reason is the following.

The author has the capacity to include very formal language, so elegant we can say, to "illustrate" with his words the meaning of the poem. It was written to the delight of educated people, not the ordinary man. It is written in iamber pentameter. The author uses the lines of the poem to exalt nationalistic approaches to strengthen the future of a free nation.

In the poem, the author tries to give the United States personification through the lady described in it.

The poem " Prospect of the future glory of America" was written by John Trumbull.
