Explanation:

In "I'm Nobody! Who are you?", Dickinson finds comfort in being "Nobody" and avoids the public attention of being "Somebody". In "Song of Myself", Whitman celebrates himself and is at ease with his identity. The first option matches as both poems show that a strong self - identity comes from being comfortable with who one is. The second option is incorrect as there's no uncertainty in their self - identities. The third option is wrong because Dickinson finds a pair (not being alone) and Whitman's focus is on self - celebration, not aloneness. The fourth option is incorrect as Dickinson dislikes public acknowledgment and Whitman's celebration is self - centered, not about being honored by many.

Answer:

A. Strong self - identity comes from being comfortable with who you are.
