Question 2 of 10 • PBCSD_CR_1001375_English 3_for_Credit_Recovery_S1andS2_2015

Which statement best summarizes the fourth paragraph of Chapter I of Nature?

Answer

There is nothing quite as beautiful and mysterious as nature at its most sublime, so nature should never be developed.

Though it can be difficult to understand nature’s workings, the rewards for doing so are great.

Because nature is truly beautiful, even sublime, human beings feel inferior about their own endeavors.

Truly experiencing and absorbing the beauty of nature can have a healing effect on the mind and body.
