Answer 2

Hello. You forgot to put the necessary poem for this question to be answered. The poem is:

"There’s a certain Slant of light,

Winter Afternoons —

That oppresses, like the Heft

Of Cathedral Tunes —

Heavenly Hurt, it gives us —

We can find no scar,

But internal difference,

Where the Meanings, are —

None may teach it — Any —

‘Tis the Seal Despair —

An imperial affliction

Sent us of the Air —

When it comes, the Landscape listens —

Shadows — hold their breath —

When it goes, ‘tis like the Distance

On the look of Death"

(There's a certain Slant of light , By Emily Dickinson)

Answer:

D. Nature can sometimes leave us feeling lonely and emotionally vulnerable.

Explanation:

In the poem above, Dickinson tells how nature is powerful and extremely emotional, being able to touch our feelings in a profound, sensitive and overwhelming way.

It shows in the poem how the visions and sensations that nature places on our bodies, can give us a feeling of emptiness and weakness, making us begin to feel lonely and emotionally vulnerable.
