Question 19 • English III

Based on the style and language used in “Homework,” Alan Ginsberg would most likely agree that the writing of this text

Answer
A
is a social commentary on the need for better global sanitation habits.
B
is an expression of his protest over the current state of the world.
C
is an attempt at imitating his favorite American poet, Walt Whitman.
D
is aimed at gaining respect as a beat poet for confronting a serious topic.

Explanation

“Homework” uses playful, exaggerated language to imagine cleaning up the world’s many problems, from pollution to war and injustice. This broad, irreverent treatment suggests that Ginsberg is expressing protest against the world as it is, rather than focusing only on sanitation or trying to earn a reputation. Therefore, the best choice is “is an expression of his protest over the current state of the world.”
