Answer: D) encourage people to be more independent in their thinking.
Explanation:
Allusion is a literary device which provides a brief reference to a person/object of historical, cultural or political importance. In this excerpt from Whitman's <em>"Song of Myself"</em>, the speaker makes an allusion to himself in the following line: <em>"You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me"</em>. The passage introduces a crucial theme in the poem - that we should not accept someone else's experience as universal, but gain our own experience instead. In the above-mentioned line, Whitman warns the reader that this is also applicable to the viewpoint he presents in the poem - the reader should not believe Whitman either.
The first gap is best filled with "resembled" (Sebastian comments here that many people believed that his sister was similar to him in the looks)
The second gap is "remembrance" - he means here that he cries after her (the more refers to more salt water, that is his tears)
Third Person Objective—the narrator is not part of the story and does not know characters’ thoughts or a feeling, but only states their actions and speech. Imagine you are holding a video camera. You see all the action, but there is no one to tell you what the actors are thinking.

It reveals that the speaker’s mother tongue is not English and that his mastery of English is very substandard. The verbal conjugations present several mistakes, such as lack of differentiation of singular and plural conjugation, incorrect or missing use of appropriate verbal tenses (simple past tense), incorrect use of auxiliary verbs, incorrect use of gerunds and infinitives. The sentence construction is also deficient, discourse is plagued by fragments and lack of grammatical subjects.
The correct answer is 'leader'. A predicate nominative, or predicate noun, is the object of a linking verb. When trying to find the predicate nominative, simply use this format: "What did (subject) (linking verb)?"
So, in the sentence "The animal is a cat.", 'animal' is the subject and 'is' is the linking verb.
What is the animal?
The animal is a cat.
Therefore, the predicate nominative is 'cat'.
In tenth grade, Jackie became the leader of the scout troop.
'Jackie' is the subject and 'became' is the linking verb.
What did Jackie become?
Jackie became the leader. (We can exclude 'of the scout troop' because it is a prepositional phrase.)
Therefore, the predicate nominative is 'leader'.
Hope this helps!
