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.

Explanation:
In the Valley of the Ashes in The Great Gatsby, there is a billboard advertising the services of an optometrist by the name of Dr. T. J. Eckelburg.

Notably, Dr. Eckelburg's eyes represent sight and the idea that everything the characters do is being symbolically "seen." The eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg are a pair of fading, bespectacled eyes painted on an old advertising billboard over the valley of ashes. They may represent God staring down upon and judging American society as a moral wasteland, though the novel never makes this point explicitly.
