Question

in the line from walt whitmans poem \song of myself,\ what is the meaning of the word leavings?
and as to you life i reckon you are the leavings of many deaths
a. memories
b. rubbish
c. leftovers
d. legacy

Explanation:

In the context of the poem, "leavings" is used metaphorically. "Legacy" fits well as life can be seen as what remains (a legacy) from past "deaths" (in a symbolic sense of past forms or states ceasing). "Memories" are more about recall, "rubbish" is too negative and literal, and "leftovers" is more about physical remnants.

Answer:

D. legacy
