Explanation:

Walden has very noticeable strong themes. The importance of self reliance, the Value of Simplicity, the Illusion of progress (Thoreau is very skeptical about considering technological advance as societal advance) and so on. Also, there's the life in the woods itself represented in Walden. So it's hard to see him seeing the new technology as important or beneficial. He was also a logical person, so finding impractical new and better technology is probably not the case. Which leaves us to the the correct answer, the option that fits all of Thoreau's worries.

Answer:

C) He would believe they were destructive to a person’s thinking ability.

I would say the best answer is A, he hides behind a tree. I was in between A and D, but one can run in a park. 

B wouldn't work because him being dressed in ordinary street clothes doesn't show that he's afraid of something.

C wouldn't work because although yes, he was panting, that could mean that he's just tired; not necessarily, scared.

The man hiding behind the tree is the best evidence for the conclusion of him being afraid of something. Also in the passage it states, "....he moved behind a tree. Seeming not to notice my presence, he stood with his back against the trunk, panting."

Alex has returned home from a camping trip and wants to read about current events that happened while he was away. Which nonfict
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:A

Explanation:

Because he wants to know what happened the few days he was gone. For him to catch up with whats been happening he would have to read the newspaper because a history book goes way back. An editorial only talks about that controversial issue and biography won’t tell you the events just tell you about a person. Hope this helps:)
