Question 3 • English Language Arts 11

Which of the following expresses a similarity between the central ideas found in Society and Solitude and Chapter I of Nature ?

Answer
A
Both passages stress the importance of individual contemplation.
B
Both passages offer time spent in nature as a substitute for human company.
C
Both passages explain what makes up a solid and productive society.
D
Both passages discourage either too much socializing or too much solitude.

Explanation

Both works value time for reflection apart from the distractions of ordinary social life. In Chapter I of Nature, Emerson describes how being alone in nature can restore a person’s perspective and deepen thought; Society and Solitude also considers the importance of solitude for the individual. Choice B is too specific because the shared idea is contemplation, not that both passages present nature as a replacement for human company.
