"Sagacity" refers to the ability of a person to make sound judgement. It is similar to wisdom. In this case, it refers to the self-reliance of Yorkshire men.

"To bestow" is to present something as a gift. It is often used as a synonym of "to confer" (an honor, an award). The word here refers to reluctance of Yorkshire men to offer assistance to others.

This info came from down below, also sorry this is years late.

How does the audio version affect the experience of reading
exis [7]

The audio version of the poem allows the listener to perceive the lack of rhyme and meter, as a way of showing Whitman's disdain for conformity and tradition.

In this case, the last answer option is the correct answer.

We can arrive at this answer as follows:

  • To hear the audio version of the poem it is necessary to read it aloud.
  • When listening to the poem, the listener will notice the lack of rhyme, musicality, and meter.
  • This shows how the poet was disdaining poetical conformity and tradition and this is completely harmonious with the theme of the poem.

The poem shows the recognition of the human being with himself and the association of human life with nature. For the poet, this recognition does not need rules and conformity, but freedom, just like the form of the poem.

This attitude of the poet can be seen even in the structure of the poem, which is inconstant and diversified, not assuming any kind of pattern.
