Question 18 • SC-English 3 Honors

Which of the following expresses a similarity between the central ideas found in Society and Solitude and Chapter I of Nature?

Answer
A
Both passages stress the importance of individual contemplation.
B
Both passages explain what makes up a solid and productive society.
C
Both passages discourage either too much socializing or too much solitude.
D
Both passages offer time spent in nature as a substitute for human company.

Explanation

Both passages emphasize the value of stepping away from other people to think and reflect. In Chapter I of Nature, Emerson describes how being alone outdoors brings a person into a deeper awareness of nature; in Society and Solitude, he argues that solitude is important alongside social life. So both stress individual contemplation, not avoiding society altogether.
