Answer:
graft - to combine or integrate
transpire - to be revealed
to mottle- to mark with spots
Explanation:
"Song of Myself" is a poem by Walt Whitman, included in his collection Leaves of Grass. It is also the longest poem in this collection, and deals with the search for identity.
In the first excerpt of the poem - <em>''The first I graft and increase upon myself, the latter I translate into new tongue''</em>, the meaning of the word <em>'graft'</em> is to combine or integrate.
In the second excerpt - <em>''It may be you transpire from the breasts of young men"</em>, the word <em>'transpire'</em> means to be revealed.
In the last excerpt, <em>"Earth of shine and dark mottling the tide of the river", </em>the contextual meaning of <em>'mottling'</em> is marking with spots or blotches.
Answer:
The correct answer that shows that American Indians wanted to make peace with European colonists is B. "Being after some time of entertainment and gifts, dismissed, a while after he came again, and 5 more with him, and they brought again all the tools that were stolen away before, and made way for the coming of their great Sachem, called Massasoyt; who, about 4 or 5 days after, came with the chief of his friends and other attendance, with the aforesaid Squanto."
Explanation:
The said excerpt shows that American Indians were trying to make peace with the Europeans because first of all they brough gifts and returned the tools that had been stolen. Moreover, they even brought their Sachem, a paramount chief and returned later with more chiefs. Both actions seem like a reparation of things being stolen in order to soothe the relationship and then bringing their chiefs as a sign of respect to negotiate peace with the colonists.
