I also agree that the answer is B: whom
in this sentence you are using the preposition + whom grammar structure. Whom is considered an object pronoun and is used when asking who will receive the action, which in this case, I believe is, baking those cookies. Hopefully this makes sense and good luck.
Starting with its very title, "Song of Myself" is indeed a poetic embodiment of the transcendentalist philosophy. Whitman (or the speaker who calls himself Whitman) doesn't sing and praise some outside ideals or occurrences, but himself. This is the transcendentalist ideal of self-reliance, explained in Emerson's eponymous essay. It says that the greatest strength of every individual is his/her own self, independent, free from authority and restraints, liberated and self-sufficient. Both Emerson and Whitman, each in his own right, have written a giant ode to individualism.
Another transcendentalist ideal embodied in Whitman's famous poem is relationship with nature. In his view, nature is the source of genuine beauty and wisdom, uncorrupted by the touch of social and political institutions. Whitman says "<span>I will go to the bank by the wood and become undisguised and naked", which means that nature is the only realm of sincerity, and people can only be true to themselves if they are independent of humanity but close to nature.
Just like Transcendentalism has been a unique, authentic American take on Romanticism, Whitman has been the pillar of American national and cultural identity in poetry. He has taken the very American notion of individualism (defined and praised by transcendentalists) and put it in his poetry, most notably in "Song of Myself" as the most self-obsessed, yet not egotistical account of modern American poetry.</span>

Answer:
<u>What kind of man is Dexter? Does he deserve sympathy, criticism or both? </u>
Dexter Green is an ambitious person who wishes to one day golf with the wealthy individuals he caddies for as a young man. He is attracted to wealth and also becomes infatuated with Judy as a teenager. As Dexter gets older, he graduates from a prestigious East Coast college and pursues a career as a successful businessman. Dexter is a hard worker and big dreamer who is not an entitled snob. Dexter also remains fixated on the ideal life as a rich man with Judy as his partner. As years pass, Dexter learns that Judy has lost her attractive looks and settled into the role of housewife. Dexter breaks down because he knows his winter dreams are unattainable. He naive believes wealth and physical beauty have the ability to make him happy in life, causing him to be caught up in appearances.
<u>Describe Dexter’s traits and the motivations for his primary actions and feelings. </u>
Dexter has grown up around people with more money and higher social status than his family, who were grocers. The years that Dexter spent caddying at the golf club brought him into contact with people that he wanted to eventually surpass in success. As he becomes a young man, he decides "He wanted not association with glittering things and glittering people--he wanted the glittering things themselves."
While young men his age from wealthier families entered more precarious professions, including selling stocks and investing, Dexter became a practical-minded business owner and earned a fortune rather quickly. His ambition was not to befriend his social superiors; Dexter later plays golf with them and finds them limited, untalented, and boring.
Dexter himself doesn't fully understand why he pursues success and how he should be enjoying it. The narrator observes that "often he reached out for the best without knowing why he wanted it." Perhaps Dexter is caught up in the American consumerism that arose in the wake of WWI. It was easy for people to acquire more consumer goods and services during this time, and Dexter seems to have fallen into this collective enthusiasm for the things his success provides.
