Answer:

The poetic technique being used by Whitman is:

B. end-stopped lines

Explanation:

As we know, Walt Whitman is considered the father of free verse, which means he is NOT concerned with regular meter, rhythm, or rhymes in his poems. We could easily eliminate options A, C, and D with that knowledge. Still, even if people do not know that fact about Whitman, they could analyze the lines provided:

I see something of God each hour of the twenty-four, and each moment then, In the faces of men and women I see God, and in my own face in the glass. (lines 1281 – 1282)

As the end of each syntactic unit -- which can be a phrase, a clause, or a sentence --, the writer uses punctuation to signal a pause. That is known as end-stopped lines. As we can see in the lines above, Whitman chose to use commas between each unit. That is how he shows the audience there is a pause between them.

1. After reading the following paragraph, what can the reader conclude about how Siham feels about her veil?
DerKrebs [107]

<span>d) She appreciates the veil because of its ability to hide the truth of her rebellious nature from society.</span>

According to Siham, she appreciates the veil and thinks that so do other girls (if they are just honest) because it covers their sinful acts, their “faults and scandals.” Under the veil, she is free to enjoy her life apart from judging eyes. The veil keeps her true self and feelings from being known. Thus, she looks at the unveiled women with pity and disrespect.
