n this excerpt from the poem "Old Ironsides" by Oliver Wendell Holmes, what is the meaning of the word tread? Her deck, once red with heroes' blood Where knelt the vanquished foe, When winds were hurrying o'er the flood And waves were white below, No more shall feel the victor's tread, Or know the conquered knee;—

A-crush
B-pace
C-quell
D-trudge
E-march

Respuesta :

The answer is C.quell

Answer:

E. March.

Explanation:

This excerpt from a poem tells the story of someone or something (possibly a ship) that at one point in time relished in nothing but victories, but in current times that is no more, and anyone facing this object will no longer witness the "victor's tread" - referring to a warrior's march performed after defeating the enemy.

Therefore, March is the correct answer.
