Read this quotation from Chapter I of Nature. To speak truly, few adult persons can see nature. Which sentence from Nature best supports Emerson’s claim?

Emerson claims that few adults can truly see nature, suggesting that adults do not experience it with the openness of children. The sentence “The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child” contrasts an adult’s limited perception with a child’s deeper experience, so choice C best supports the claim.
