In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, the image of the mockingbird carries great symbolic weight. Based on the following excerp

t, what could the mockingbird symbolize?
Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.

The mockingbird symbolizes the beauty of music because it gives immense pleasure to people through its melodious singing.

Based on this excerpt, the mockingbird symbolizes <span>the softer side of nature, because unlike most wild creatures, it doesn’t harm human habitat.
The mockingbird is used to symbolize innocence - just like the bird is innocent and does nothing to harm others, the young protagonists of the books are kind and innocent, and often suffer because of it. It is a sin to kill someone's innocence, just like it is a sin to kill such a beautiful and harmless bird.

Read this passage from Alan Weisman's "The City Without Us":
Setler [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Working against the natural tendencies of the environment leads to long-term consequences.

Explanation:

In the first paragraph, the theme of green literature is evidenced when the writer references the damage to New York City's topography due to the need to build deep underground subways that double as bomb shelters.

In the second passage, the imagery used by the writer gives a clearer picture of the damage that was done to the environment.

In the first passage, the potential hazard arises because sewer lines have to be pumped uphill with subways below them.

If there is an earthquake, for instance, the entire structure comes crashing down.

In the second passage, the damage was already done, leaving Norwegians with the problem of how to create soils upon which plant fauna could thrive. Had they, managed the tree population by planting more than they were cutting, they probably would have avoided the "<em>green problem".</em>

Cheers
