Which excerpt?
Then we can figure it out
Answer:
The story is set in an imaginary time and place, in a kingdom whose king is semi-barbaric. His autocratic style is described in detail, and the narrator comments at length on his splendid arena.
Explanation:
<em>presents endless possibilities to experience and appreciate .</em> This is the correct option. The author, John Muir , refers to this idea when he says: "....and glorying in God's abounding inexhaustible spiritual beauty bread. ...were welcomed as friends. " The words <em>abounding</em> and <em>inexhaustible </em>refer to endless possibilties. He also uses the phrase <em>spiritual beauty bread</em>. This means that nature can be eaten like bread and the taste of nature can be tasted or appreciated. Plants, storms , thunderstorms and winds in the woods are in <em>the beauty bread</em>.
These options are not right:
-is filled with countless opportunities to discover rare plants. The writer sets the focus on nature as a whole not just on plants.
-needs to be conquered and controlled by human exploration. The writer enjoys nature ; he is not interested in controlling it.
-offers many unique challenges for the mind, body, and spirit. The writer enjoys nature ; he does not see it as challenging.
