Which choice is one reason Walt Whitman repeats words in “I Hear America Singing”?

Whitman repeats words and phrases such as “singing” to draw attention to the poem’s central idea: people from many kinds of work contribute their own songs to America. Repetition reinforces that idea; it does not divide the poem into sections or create unrelated images. The correct choice is “to emphasize a specific idea in the poem.”
