What is the focus of Walt Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass”?

  1. Slavery

  2. Nature

  3. Love

  4. America

The correct answer is: America

"Leaves of Grass" by Walt Whitman is a collection of poems that celebrates the beauty and diversity of America. Whitman was known for his democratic and optimistic views of America, and his poetry often focused on the natural beauty, cultural diversity, and individual freedoms found in the country. While themes of slavery, nature, and love can be found in some of the poems in "Leaves of Grass," they are not the central focus of the collection. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect.
