Select the correct text in the passage.

Which THREE lines in this excerpt from "Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman indicate that all human beings are equal in the poet's eyes?

I am the poet of the woman the same as the man,

And I say it is as great to be a woman as to be a man,

And I say there is nothing greater than the mother of men.

I chant the chant of dilation or pride,

We have had ducking and deprecating about enough,

I show that size is only development.

Have you outstript the rest? are you the President?

It is a trifle, they will more than arrive there every one, and still pass on.

The following three lines indicate that all human beings are equal in the poet's eyes:

I am the poet of the woman the same as the man (poet of both)

And I say it is as great to be a woman as to be a man, (it is great to be both)

And I say there is nothing greater than the mother of men.

It is clear the use of comparisons of equality in the previous sentences from the poem of Walt Whitman.
