Ralph Waldo Emerson

Question 5 • GA-GSE English Language Arts 11

Consider Emerson’s argument that solitude is important to a person’s process of self-discovery. Which piece of evidence directly supports this argument?

Answer
A
Nature is a symbol of the divine.
B
Real solitude cannot be experienced in society.
C
People must go out into nature and commune with the divine.
D
People can discover themselves only in society.

Explanation

Emerson’s argument connects solitude with self-discovery, so the supporting evidence must show that solitude requires being apart from society. Choice B states that real solitude cannot be experienced in society, directly supporting that connection. Choice D instead claims that self-discovery happens only in society, which contradicts the argument.
