Answer 5

Actually, I think B is the answer you must give, but it's not a very good summary of either Whitman or Emerson and transcendentalism. The point I think Whitman made again and again was that there is the universal in all of us, as experienced in every day life, which is quite similar to Emerson's idea of the universal or transcendental. Your observation about Whitman is accurate as far as a one-sentence description can cover it. :)
