Question 16 • English III
Thoreau says he left the woods for a reason as good as the one that led him there: he felt he had more lives to live and could not spend any more time on that one. He presents leaving as a transition into another part of his life, not as discomfort, lack of material to write about, or rejection of nature. The correct choice is D, “He explains his departure as the movement from one part of his life to another.”
