Answer:
yes I do believe that Whitman's use of free verse in "Song of Myself," helped him to better connect with his readers. Whitman's use of free verse enables him to talk to his readers in a new way that is not constricted by rhyme or meter parameters. Also, his use of language sounds more like spoken language and helps readers to not only understand what he is saying, but also to better connect with the complex and emotional themes that Whitman was discussing in "Song of Myself." More than one hundred fifty years later, the themes he uses in "Song of Myself," as well as his exciting use of language still speaks to a new audience in a new generation, which shows how well thought out and carefully pieced together his poetry was, and I believe that the use of free verse aided significantly in Whitman's ability to make the poem into exactly what he wanted it to be.
I would say A. because communicating is still speaking which individual readers are doing an competence is the able to individually speak. And certain people might having a different speaking structure so that is why I choose A.
A violent storm rages around a small ship at sea. The master of the ship calls for his boatswain to rouse the mariners to action and prevent the ship from being run aground by the tempest. Chaos ensues. Some mariners enter, followed by a group of nobles comprised of Alonso, King of Naples, Sebastian, his brother, Antonio, Gonzalo, and others. We do not learn these men’s names in this scene, nor do we learn (as we finally do in Act II, scene i) that they have just come from Tunis, in Africa, where Alonso’s daughter, Claribel, has been married to the prince. As the Boatswain and his crew take in the topsail and the topmast, Alonso and his party are merely underfoot, and the Boatswain tells them to get below-decks. Gonzalo reminds the Boatswain that one of the passengers is of some importance, but the Boatswain is unmoved. He will do what he has to in order to save the ship, regardless of who is aboard.
The only reasonable answer choice is 3
