Answer:

D). Could imprison him but could never confine his soul.

Explanation:

As per the given description, Thoreau most likely possessed a belief that the state 'could imprison him but could never confine his soul' on the basis of his transcendental beliefs which he has portrayed in his famous work 'Civil Disobedience'. He believed that <u>the political authorities as well as controlled religion destroys the individual' purity, faith, and self-reliance</u>. This idea of him is <u>reflected when he asserts that 'they could not reach me, they had resolved to punish the body, ..but can't come to those who've a spite' </u>which implies that the authorities cannot restrict his individuality or soul. Therefore, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

Choose the best inference based on the following statement from a corporation president: “Our employees are the greatest resourc
Elanso [62]
The only thing the employer says is that the company's best resource is the employees. His statement has nothing to do with the EPA, nor has it anything to do with any environmental concern.

That eliminates d and a. His concern is not laziness. He wouldn't be praising his workers if he was. So B is now gone as well.

The only thing left is C. This is an inference question, so the right answer can be inferred. He's concerned about the well being of his employees.

C <<<< answer.
