In the context of the poem "i hear america singing" by walt whitman ,what does the word blithe most likely mean?

the correct answer can either be a or b because it could be both but you should probally choose b

answer: inference

explanation:

an inference can be understood as a conclusion to which a person is able to get based on reasoning. it is the same as a deduction, a guess, an assumption.   in the sentence presented, the conjunction "but" gives the readers an idea of contrast, and, therefore, allows them to induce that despite the opponent's characteristics, andrea had something different that made her win.
