Question

B. to celebrate democracy
C. to convey a sense of freedom
D. to imitate earlier poets he admired

I say B but am I right

Answer 1

I disagree.

I don't think anything as structured as democracy guided Whitman. Each person reads poetry in his/her own way. I think Whitman chose free verse to convey a sense of freedom.
