question 3 of 10
with which statement would walt whitman most likely agree?
a. god has separated humanity from the rest of nature.
b. nature is beautiful, but the science behind nature is even more beautiful.
c. death doesnt necessarily mean the end to ones existence.
d. the strength of american society is based on its strong leaders.

Explanation:

Walt Whitman, a key figure in American transcendentalism and free verse poetry, emphasized the interconnectedness of all life and the continuity of existence beyond death. His works (e.g., Leaves of Grass) celebrate the unity of humanity with nature and frame death as a transition rather than an end (e.g., "I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love"). Option A contradicts his view of human-nature unity; B prioritizes science over experiential nature, which he did not emphasize; D focuses on leaders, but Whitman celebrated the collective "common man" as the strength of America.

Answer:

C. Death doesn't necessarily mean the end to one's existence.
