Read this excerpt from an Emily Dickinson poem.Some keep the Sabbath going to church;I keep it staying at home, With a bobolink for a chorister, And an orchard for a dome.What attitude toward social habits does this excerpt indicate?

The speaker contrasts the usual custom of going to church with her own way of observing the Sabbath at home, surrounded by nature. This suggests that social habits are not fixed rules everyone must follow; their conventional form is arbitrary rather than essential. Choice B, “Social habits are meaningless and arbitrary,” best matches that attitude.
