1) According to this excerpt, the option that most reflects Henry David Thoreau's stance on the nation is C) “The nation is a disordered and complex mass of excess.” Thoreau was an American essayist and historian that wrote the book “Walden” in which he focuses on simple living and how simple actions in everyday life, such as reducing one's possessions can help people live better lives. He also emphasizes that people should be happy with the things they have instead of the things they want.
2) The two quotations that better support the answer in question 1) are:
A) "unwieldy and overgrown" in this part Thoreau is referring to the nation as disorganized to work efficiently and too large
B) "cluttered with furniture and tripped up by its own traps" in this part Thoreau wants to emphasize that the nation is disordered and untidy to make clear decisions to improve the nation.

Explanation:
Dearest Aunt Constance,
I was so grateful to arrive in the New World, but I am now beginning to wish that we had never left home. I know that father had a hard life in England because he was punished for following his conscience and worshipping in the Separatist Church, but I wonder if it could have been as hard as this.
We arrived here just as winter did. It is bitter cold and snow is almost always upon the ground, but God has blessed us with a place to start our new town. There is a fair brook running under a high hill that Father says will offer us protection from our enemies. The men have begun building houses on land, but we must remain on the ship until they are nearer to being finished. I never thought I would still be aboard the ship for so long after we arrived! I suppose it is safer on the ship. I know not what to think of the naturals of this place that are called Indians. The first time some of our men encountered them, there was a fight though by God’s blessing no one was injured. We are on our guard now.
Master Goodman—the one with the dogs—has become quite ill. He was out cutting thatch with Peter Brown when his dogs chased a great deer deep into the forest. They chased after them and were soon lost, and had to pass the night in the wilderness. When they found their way back the next afternoon, Master Goodman had to have his shoes cut off his feet as they were so swollen with the cold. Many of our party have already died, among them Mary’s mother and father. I cannot think how lost I would be in this strange and frightful place without mother and father. I pray that they will not succumb to scurvy and other diseases.
I mean not to be so grim, but I fear that things could get far worse. We are near to scraping the bottoms of the barrels of rice, peas, and biscuit, and the men have had little fortune in hunting. I am worried, though I know that with God’s help we will survive this dark winter.
Your loving niece,
Lizzy
1. While laying down in bed I heard my alarm go off which caused me to jump and let out a gasp. This body language showed I was spooked/scared.
2. While giving my presentation at school my arms began to shake. This body language shows I was nervous.
3. As I were walking to school I rubbed my arms together as the cold wind passed by. This shows I was cold
(Sorry I’m writing this last at night and it most likely makes no sense)
I think the answer is a bit obvious but it's C as magic is in fact not possible in the real world and therefor makes The Hobbit a fantasy.
