    D. that they are bold and proud people.

    Explanation:

    According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

    A. that they are diverse, open-minded, tolerant people.

    B. that they want to be heard.

    This question refers to the poem "I Hear America Singing" by Walt Whitman. In this poem, the author reflects on what it means to be American, and on the way American people behave in their daily lives. He particularly focuses on the working class, as he talks about people in a variety of professions, such as the carpenter, the mason and the boatman. The author also tells us that these people are all singing, which creates the idea of harmony and collaboration. By saying that these people sing "with open mouths," Whitman implies that they are bold and proud people.
