None of the above options show what Emerson meant by the sentence, as the sentence states that an individual, to be a significant man, should be outside the mainstream of thought, being a nonconformist.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- Emerson's sentence is intended to show how people cannot conform to the pattern of thinking established by society.
- This pattern take away the individuality of people and make all of them conform to a reality that is not satisfactory, but within what is said to be correct.
- In this case, Emerson reinforces the idea that men should be non-conforming and stay out of the mainstream.
