Answer:
I would say that in this paragraph of <em>Song of Myself</em>, Walt Whitman gives that catalog of items in order to create a feeling of <em>unity</em>. <u>The correct answer is the first one.</u>
Explanation:
First, let's remember that Unity in literature <u>is referred to the quality of oneness in a paragraph as a result of the contribution of all the words and sentences in it.</u> They all, all the words and sentences, follow the main idea, contribute to it in order to express a complete, well built idea.
In this case, the author writes a paragraph giving a catalog of items, and all the words in that paragraph contribute to the main idea. <u>He gives the excerpt the idea of wholeness.
