Question

select the correct answer. in this line from walt whitmans poem \song of myself,\ what is the meaning of the word steeps? of the moon that descends the steeps of the soughing twilight, a. soaking b. saturation c. surroundings d. filling e. heights

Explanation:

In the context of the poem, "steeps" refers to high - places or heights. The moon is descending from high areas in the twilight. The other options do not fit the context as well. "Soaking", "saturation", "surroundings", and "filling" do not convey the sense of elevation that "steeps" implies here.

Answer:

E. heights
