Ralph Waldo Emerson

Question 4 • (J. Blaum) 0231 10th Grade English 1st 9 Weeks 26-27

Consider Emerson’s combined 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.

Explanation

The claim is that solitude matters to self-discovery. Emerson’s point that real solitude cannot be experienced in society directly emphasizes the need to be apart from other people. The claim that nature symbolizes the divine and the advice to commune with the divine concern nature and spirituality, but do not directly establish the importance of solitude.
