Question

Which of these themes does the author develop most clearly in "A White Heron"? Choose two options.

Answer 1

Answer: B nature should be respected and honored

D social and financial concerns often test our loyalties

Explanation:Despite her transcendent experience with the heron, Sylvia still intends to help the hunter find and kill it. At this moment, the temptations of monetary reward and human relationships are stronger than the moral need to conserve nature.

The ending suggests that nature provides consolation for what one loses through experience. Though one may feel lonely, one can take comfort in the gifts of nature.
