48.

The correct answer is (D).

Whitman states that the nation is a

poem. The only answer that indicates the same thing is choice

(D), the nation is poetic. While choices (A), (B), and (E) mention

aspects of poetry, they do not indicate that the United States

itself is that poem. Don’t be confused by choice (C). While it is

an accurate statement about how Whitman views the American

people, the question asks about the United States, not the

population.
