Read this stanza from allen ginsberg’s "a supermarket in california."

i heard you asking questions of each: who killed the pork chops? what price bananas? are you my angel?
what is happening in this stanza?
a. the speaker is imagining the questions whitman would ask if he were there.
b. the speaker is dreaming about what goods he will be purchasing.
c. the speaker is asking the grocery clerks about the freshness of the meat and the cost of the fruit.
d. the speaker is quizzing the butcher and produce workers to see if they are knowledgeable employees.

A.The speaker is imagining the questions Whitman would ask if he were there.

The speaker presents these questions as potential doubts Whitman would have about the modern supermarket. It is also a way to contrast the way food and the market operated in Whitman's time with the way they operate nowadays. The confusion therefore serves not only as an introduction of the character of the poet, but also as a way to highlight the fact that supermarkets have changed so much they would seriously puzzle someone from the previous century.

the correct answer is b

what can best be inferred from this excerpt is the pittsburgh pirates had a winning season in 1972., the specific information about the year is provided in the excerpt.

the other options are not correct because we can not assure that roberto clemente was the best since we don't know the information about the other players, there are no mentions about any specific fan either and it is clear that not many batters can make it to   3000 hits because it is mention as a high number.
