Answer:

Singing represents:

Both B & C.

Step-by-step explanation:

"I Hear America Singing" is a poem of patriotism. The speaker expresses how proud he is of the working class, the men and women who work so hard with their own hands to built the country that is America. They each have their own, unique songs. They sing of freedom, of opportunity, with vitality and spirit. The speaker describes the working class as consisting of strong, happy, driven people. All of them - the mason, the mechanic, the seamstress, etc. - have something beautiful to offer.
