Question 3 • 26/27 ENGLISH 11 A

How do Emerson's central ideas about solitude and nature reflect transcendentalism?

Answer
A
Emerson’s ideas urge people to seek religion for guidance in communing with the divine.
B
Emerson’s ideas stress that human beings are one with both nature and the divine.
C
Emerson’s ideas emphasize that only people who own property can appreciate nature.
D
Emerson’s ideas recommend that people isolate themselves and never go out into society.

Explanation

Transcendentalism holds that people can connect directly with spiritual truth through nature and their own inner selves. Emerson’s ideas about solitude and nature reflect this belief that human beings are one with both nature and the divine. Solitude can help someone recognize that connection; it does not mean they should avoid society forever.
