The following text is from Charlotte Forten Grimke's 1888 poem "At Newport."<br/><br/>Oh, deep delight to watch the gladsome waves<br/><br/>Exultant leap upon the rugged rocks;<br/><br/>Ever repulsed, yet ever rushing on-<br/><br/>Filled with a life that will not know defeat;<br/><br/>To see the glorious hues of sky and sea.<br/><br/>The distant snowy sails, glide spirit like,<br/><br/>Into an unknown world, to feel the sweet<br/><br/>Enchantment of the sea thrill all the soul,<br/><br/>Clearing the clouded brain, making the heart<br/><br/>Leap joyous as it own bright, singing waves!<br/><br/>Which choice best describes the function of the underlined portion in the text as a whole?
