Collaboration means 'to work with another person or group in order to achieve or do something'.

It should be heavy, because ponderous means with a lot of weight(basically).

So yeah, your answer is C, heavy.
Some evidence from the text that shows Sara was a good storyteller is when the text says “Sara not only could tell stories, but she adored telling them. We she sat or stood in the midst of a circle and began to invent wonderful things, her green eyes grew big and shining, her cheeks flushed, and, without knowing that she was doing it, she began to act and made what she told lovely or alarming by the raising or dropping of her voice, the bend and sway of her slim body, and the dramatic movement of her hands.” This shos very descriptive writing in where it shows that Sara has a passion for reading books and making them sound more joyful no matter was she's reading. But an also making her reading sound more realistic, you could just tell by looking at her that she enjoys what she's doing.

It means that being an American is a source of pride and that is why people sing with their mouths open, that is, they sing loudly so that everyone can hear how proud they are.
Explanation:
Although you did not show in the question above, the line you present is part of the poem "I Hear America Singing" where we are introduced to the American working class and how they do their jobs happily while helping to build the country they love so much. The poem shows how important these workers are and reinforces how proud they are of their roles, as well as being extremely proud to be American, even going so far as to sing about it "with open mouths," which means that they sing loud enough so that everyone can hear well.
