Answer:

C). He wanted to suggest that one should be willing to go to great lengths for a belief.

Explanation:

Henry David Thoreau is the renowned American philosopher and essayist who is acknowledged worldwide for his transcendental thoughts and ideals reflected in his works. His work 'Civil Dis-obedience' reflects his fascination towards 'functioning of the jail'.

As per the question, option C displays the statement that Thoreau hopes from his modern day successors to make with imprisonment as he wished to imply that a person must be compliant and prepared enough to 'go to great lengths' for a belief which they find ethical, social, and virtuous. He urges his successors to believe in their conscience instead of laws. Thus, option B is the correct answer.

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, option C is the correct answer.
