Question

Based on the style and language used in “Homework,” Alan Ginsberg would most likely agree that the writing of this text
is an expression of his protest over the current state of the world.
is an attempt at imitating his favorite American poet, Walt Whitman.
is a social commentary on the need for better global sanitation habits.
is aimed at gaining respect as a beat poet for confronting a serious topic.

Answer 1

is an attempt at imitating his favorite American poet, Walt Whitman.

Reason: The style and language (long free-verse lines, cataloging, an expansive conversational "I") echo Whitman’s influence—something Ginsberg often acknowledged—more so than a literal sanitation message, a generic protest, or a bid for beat-poet status.
