Answer 1

D) The king has the potential to make his subjects happy.

Step-by-step explanation:

King George the Third is referred to as “His Majesty” in the poem “The Poetical Works of Phillis Wheatley”. Wheatley, the author, is eulogizing her benefactor, praising the king for being a great monarch everyone adores, and using the word free to represent that the king has the potential to make his subjects happy.
