What attitude toward nature does “When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer” express?

The speaker listens to the astronomer present facts, charts, and calculations, but grows tired and steps outside to look at the stars in silence. This contrast suggests that scientific analysis alone does not capture the experience of nature, so choice D is the best answer. The poem does not say that all attempts to interact with nature are doomed; it emphasizes the limits of studying nature only through numbers.
