Answer:
B. This remark tells us that much of humanity has lost its appreciation for earth and nature, to the point of resenting its mere appearance.
Explanation:
The question above is related to the short story entitled, "The Machine Stops." It focuses on two characters namely, <em>Vashti</em> and<em> Kuno (her son).</em> In the story, <u>people were living underground</u> and no longer on the surface of the earth. They were able to meet their needs through a global <em>Machine. </em>People were placed in<em> isolated rooms</em> where they communicated with other people through <em>instant messages and video conferences. </em>There were actually some people called the "homeless outcasts" who tried to live on the surface of the Earth.
Unlike her son<em>, Kuno</em>, who was interested to visit and know more about the surface of the Earth, <em>Vashti</em> was<em> "not interested in natural inspiration." </em>So, this explains her remark above. It shows<u> how much of humanity has lost their appreciation for earth and nature.</u> This is the extent to which the underground Machine did to people in the "poisoned darkness."
So, this explains the answer.
Why did the neighbours immediately call the cops? Did they already know he was guilty? Were the cops making him go insane at the end? Did the cops suspect him before he admitted it? What is wrong with the narrator mentally? Is he even human?
