The correct answer is the following: option b. The best interpretation of the figurative language underlined in the sentence is that it means that Lincoln determination to end slavery was a huge benefit to the cause. The sentence's figurative language sets President Abraham Lincoln's will as a stone fortress in the battle to abolish slavery. This means that the fact that the President had a strong and determined will to end slavery helped significantly to the cause during the Civil War, that ended with the abolition of slavery in The United States. The will and determination in favor of the causes by such an important and powerful figure shaped the War.
