Answer:
The weather'd every rack in the poem O Captain! My Captain! means survival of every hardship of life.
Explanation:
The popular metaphor poem O Captain! My Captain! is written by Walt Whitman in 1865 in remembrance of U.S president Abraham Lincoln who died during the Civil War in America.
Here, the word 'rack' means the strong winds or storms at the side of the ship which in turn explains the obstacles or the hardship of life. The 'ship' is the metaphor for life in the poem.
Hence, weathere'd every rack means the obstacles couldn't break one down and therefore stands to overcome all the obstacles and hardships of life.
