Read the poem "i hear america singing" by walt whitman.
i hear america singing, the varied carols i hear;
those of mechanics—each one singing his, as it should be, blithe and strong;
the carpenter singing his, as he measures his plank or beam,
the mason singing his, as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work;
the boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat—the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck;
the shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench—the hatter singing as he stands;
the wood-cutter's song—the ploughboy's, on his way in the morning, or at the noon intermission, or at sundown;
the delicious singing of the mother—or the young wife at work—or of the girl sewing or washing—each singing what belongs to her, and to none else;
the day what belongs to the day—at night, the party of young fellows, robust, friendly,
singing, with open mouths, their strong melodious songs.

Explanation:

In the poem "I Hear America Singing", the speaker describes what, in his opinion, constitutes America: the working class. He does not describe the working class as weak or suffering people, though. They are strong, and so is the carol they sing. Each one, be it the mechanic, the seamstress, the mason... each one of them sings a unique song, a song of their own individuality. At the same time, however, it is that song that unites them, it is what they have in common. Their happiness, their strength, and their drive are beautifully expressed by their singing.

Walt Whitman was an American poet who lived from 1819 to 1892. His major work, "Leaves of Grass" was published in 1855. He is, to this day, considered to be one of the greatest writers in America.

jeez la wheeze! i just checked other people who had the same question as you and both had terrible answers.

i hope i could be a little bit of a though!

hmm, lets see here. okay! so, i don't know the passages exactly since i haven't taken that quiz before, but! i will try to the best i can.

if you need on what igbo means, ill give you a hand.

igbo means a member of a people of southeastern nigeria.

so, they're asking you, "what passage uses igbo words or phrases and in at least 100 words, identify the kinds of context clues the author uses to hint at the words' meaning."

so basically, don't stress or over look this.

look closely at the passages and see if you can spot any of those hints! it doesn't have to be all, remember, its a quiz! no right or wrong answers.

the teachers are always there to and if you are struggling on this topic they will notice it in your score on the quiz and you.

(; i do hope this is useful to you!     < 3
