This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Read Song of Myself, By Walt Whitman

How does the symbol of grass develop the theme of section 6?

O A It reveals that God is in everything, whether that thing is aware of

God's existence.

B It reveals that life and death are cyclical and connect everything.

C It reveals that nature is resilient and indifferent to mankind.

D It reveals that unlearned children understand the universe better than

learned adults.

Answer: B It reveals that life and death are cyclical and connect everything.

Step-by-step explanation:

The author finds himself thinking about grass after a child asks him what that is. After wondering about it for a while, he comes to the conclusion that grass is a symbol of the life-death cycle because grass sprouts out from the mouths of dead people. Each sprout is proof of death not being real, or even a bad thing because our ancestors are still alive through nature.
