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.
