Emerson's poem is made of four-line stanzas. Whitman's poem is one long stanza. Which best explains why the poets likely made the structural choices they did?
A Emerson intended to give his serious ideas a lighter look. Whitman wanted his light
subject matter, singing, to look more serious.
B Emerson wanted to emphasize his fixed rhyme scheme. Whitman wanted to emphasize
the forward flow of his rhythmic language.
С Emerson chose to display the variety of his language. Whitman chose to highlight the
repetition of the word "singing."
D Emerson wanted his rhythms to sound like soldiers marching. Whitman wanted his
rhythms to sound like workmen singing.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

(you didn't attach a copy of the poem, but i'm answering as best as i can)

since a simile compares two unlike things using like or as, it kind of gives an item the ability to do something it can't.

example: "the player was like a tiger on the field"

in this sentence, the simile conveys the idea that the player was fast and strong, like a tiger.

by our hard work

for that
