The correct answer is A) Celebrations of independence are meaningless to a slave.
Explanation: This option captures the primary sentiment expressed in speeches about independence and freedom, particularly from the perspective of those who are still oppressed or enslaved. The idea is that while the nation celebrates its freedom, for those who are enslaved, such celebrations are hollow and meaningless because they do not share in the liberty that is being celebrated.
