He finds Ernest's cigarette case inscribed with the name Jack.
Answer:
C) Experience
Explanation:
This is certainly a hard question, because the passage leads us to believe that Muir is struggling through nature, with lines like "struggling through tangled dropping branches," and "I began to fear that I would not be able to reach dry ground."
However, he begins by joyfully describing nature, and doesn't regret the journey when he finds this flower that made "the impression of the utmost simple purity like a snowflower."
Muir would not have found this flower had he not experience nature.
I would choose foreshadowing because theme is the life lesson and personification is giving human characteristics to non human things.
