<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>
The correct option is C (Dred Scott)
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
Dred Scott was a slave and social lobbyist who served a few experts previously suing for his opportunity. His case made it to the Supreme Court (Dred Scott v. Sandford) before the American Civil War.
The American Civil War was a war battled in the United States from 1861 to 1865, between the North and the South. The Civil War is the most considered and expounded on scene in U.S. history.
Henry David Thoreau was an American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian, two of his greatest works are: "Resistance to Civil Government" (also known as "Civil Disobedience") and "The Mask of Anarchy". His ideals can be summarized by this statement: “the Government should not have more power than the bestowed by its citizens”.
Henry David Thoreau was even imprisoned for refusing to pay taxes in protest for the Mexican-American War and the slavery.
In this passage from Walden, Thoreau the analogy is:
He is comparing life to a moving train
Here we have the evidence to support the analogy:
Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell and mosquito's wing <u>that falls on the rails.</u>
D) The most nearly correct answer would be option 'C', as this fact appears in 119 of the 150 nations (more or less an 80%).
