Question

1. passage - i hear america singing_00014

after reading \i hear america singing,\ answer the question below.
which line or lines from the poem could be used to support the idea that relaxation and rest are as important as work?
○ \each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else\
○ \i hear america singing, the varied carols i hear\
○ \the day what belongs to the day - at night the party of young fellows, robust, friendly,
singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs.\
○ \the shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as he stands\

Explanation:

This line contrasts daytime work ("the day what belongs to the day") with nighttime relaxation and social rest (the young fellows' evening singing party), directly showing that rest/leisure is a valued, parallel part of daily life alongside work, which supports the idea that relaxation and rest are as important as work. The other options focus on individual work identities, the poem's opening, or work-related singing, not the balance of work and rest.

Answer:

C. "The day what belongs to the day - at night the party of young fellows, robust, friendly,
Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs."
