Read the excerpt from Muir's essay "Calypso Borealis" and answer the question. [5] How long I sat beside Calypso I don't know. H

unger and weariness vanished, and only after the sun was low in the west I splashed on through the swamp, strong and exhilarated as if never more to feel any mortal care. At length I saw maple woods on a hill and found a log house. I was gladly received. "Where ha ye come fra? The swamp, that awfu' swamp. What were ye doin' there?" etc. "Mony a puir body has been lost in that muckle, cauld, dreary bog and never been found." When I told her I had entered it in search of plants and had been in it all day, she wondered how plants could draw me to these awful places, and said, "It's god's mercy ye ever got out." Examine the details Muir includes in this paragraph. Which statement accurately explains how Muir's response to nature compares to the log house owner's response? He is enthusiastic and in awe while she is doubtful and fearful. Muir cautiously admires whereas the lady shows religious dedication. The lady is more interested in the bog while Muir is fascinated by plants. They both admire nature—its intense dangers and its true treasures.

He is enthusiastic and in awe while she is doubtful and fearful.

In the passage he says that he felt "strong and exhilarated" while he explored the swamp. The women, however, talks about how people have gone missing in the bog and she's surprised he ever made it out. It also says that the woman doesn't understand "how plants could draw [him] to these awful places". Because the woman doesn't understand his fascination with the bog, it's clear that she isn't interested in the bog and doesn't admire its intense dangers and true treasures.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! The argument between conservationists and preservationists continues today. Remember that conservationists wa
Luden [163]

Answer: The answer is you can neither be fully supportive of the either. In fact the battle will go on or you may the arguments will perhaps get louder in the years to come.

Explanation: None of the nations wants to back from using a lucrative resources that they chance upon fully knowing the repercussions of climate change and various other damaging havoc that can impact the entire earth.

The greed in humans cannot be killed and perhaps we already are paying a heavy price for it. The conservationists believe the usage of the resources should be done in a responsible manner.

The supply need not be jeopardised for the future generations but no objections in continuing to use them though. Sustainability is the argument that they propound.

The preservationists are purists in the true sense they don't want to disturb mother nature and allow them to flourish in their pristine form and we continue to live in harmony with that.

The intrinsic value of the land and other resources  have to retained  and gained inspiration for its beauty and serenity. It is the theory that preservationists have stuck too for years.

Each is right in their own way, if we don't use the natural resources we won't be able to function as well as we do.

 If we don't preserve some of the natural resources and stick our head into every resource on the surface of the earth, there will be large destruction and extinction of flora and fauna.

Hence it would be right to say, that we need to rethink what we are going to do because in the next few years what we do will determine our future and there is no going back then.
