The correct answer is D.

This excerpt from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "Paul Revere's Ride"  introduces the character of Paul Revere and, most importantly, the mission he carried out.

In this passage, the author explains in the form of a poem, the actions that were taken by Paul Revere. It explains how Revere indicated his friends to hang lanterns in the North Church tower if the British started marching towards their territory. Then, if Revere saw the signal, he would ride to spread the alarm through Middlesex so that the villagers would be ready to defend themselves.

explanation:

one type of the adjectives is predicate adjective. a predicate adjective is an adjective which follows a linking verb and modifies or refers back to the main subject of that linking verb.

it usually is used just before the noun it modies.

here in this example:

'penguins seem comfortable in the coolest habitats', comfortable is the predicate adjective which follows the linking verb 'seem' and modifies the noun.
