Question 5 • BT 26-27 English Language Arts 11 B
The speaker addresses Walt Whitman as if Whitman were walking through the supermarket with him. The questions about who killed the pork chops and the price of bananas imagine what Whitman might ask there; they are not ordinary questions from a shopper seeking information. So the best answer is that the speaker is imagining the questions Whitman would ask if he were there.
