What is the title of the 1798 poetry collection by Philip Freneau?

  1. “The House of the Seven Gables”

  2. “The American Crisis”

  3. “The Poems of Freemont”

  4. “The Rising Glory of America”

The correct answer is: “The Rising Glory of America”

Option A is incorrect because "The House of the Seven Gables" is a novel written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, not a poetry collection by Philip Freneau. Option B is incorrect because "The American Crisis" is a political pamphlet written by Thomas Paine, not a poetry collection by Philip Freneau. Option C is incorrect because "The Poems of Freemont" is not a known poetry collection by Philip Freneau. Therefore, the only correct option is D, "The Rising Glory of America," which is the title of the 1798 poetry collection by Philip Freneau.
