You did not provide the excerpt but I wound it and the correct answers are the following two sentences:
1.<span>For once, at least, I grasped the mental operations of the Morlocks.

Answer:
C). Nature is beautiful, calming, and inspiring.
Explanation:
Thoreau's "Solitude" primarily throws light upon the idea of 'solitude or isolation' actually being an opportunity where one can experience self-communion and contemplation/introspection.'
In this excerpt, Thoreau discusses a 'delicious evening' which he spent in the lap of nature, 'a part of herself.' He considers the nature to be 'beautiful, soothing, and inspiring' as reflected by the descriptions 'elements are unusually congenial to me', 'bullfrogs usher in the night...water', 'pleasantest hours', 'ssothed by seaseless roar', 'twililight usher..', 'tempted' , etc. reflect that how he is in union with the every bit of nature and thus, questions 'why should I feel lonely.' This justifies the above deduction and hence, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
