Answer:

graft - to combine or integrate

transpire - to be revealed

to mottle- to mark with spots

Explanation:

"Song of Myself" is a poem by Walt Whitman, included in his collection Leaves of Grass. It is also the longest poem in this collection, and deals with the search for identity.

In the first excerpt of the poem - <em>''The first I graft and increase upon myself, the latter I translate into new tongue''</em>, the meaning of the word <em>'graft'</em> is to combine or integrate.

In the second excerpt - <em>''It may be you transpire from the breasts of young men"</em>, the word <em>'transpire'</em> means to be revealed.

In the last excerpt, <em>"Earth of shine and dark mottling the tide of the river", </em>the contextual meaning of <em>'mottling'</em> is marking with spots or blotches.

katrin [286]

Answer:

- "This was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race."

- "... they were far better off than they had been in the days of Jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings."

Explanation:

1. This statement support the theme especially looking at the ending part which says, "they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race". We note that the perceived oppression they experienced prompted them to act, but despite acting they were still struggling with the alternative course of action.

2. The statement "they were far better off" indicates that they experienced oppression "in the days of Jones".

Thus, after their ordeal they were determined more than ever to avoid the alternative of not preventing the return of the human beings.
