The character traits that described Jerry in the novel ' Through the Tunnel' are competitive and stubborn.
'Through the Tunnel is a short story written by the British author, Doris Lessing in 1955. The story is about a young boy, Jerry and his mother, who are having their vacation at a beach in a foreign country. Jerry in his stubborn and competitive way set for himself the monumental work of swimming through the river tunnel. He accomplished this successfully and the experience really boost his self confidence.

Answer:
the last line: "Oh, it's very comfortable"
Answer:
"Most bewildering," "small white bulb"
Explanation:
I found the answer by using answer elimination. For "most bewildering," we can see that Muir is questioning the flower and looking at it carefully. This is a step of the scientific method, asking questions and making observations.
As for "bed of yellow mosses," I found this to be written in a more poetic way. This is a metaphor, saying the moss is a 'bed of moss.' There is definitely nothing scientific about that observation.
"Small white bulb" is descriptive. There is nothing fancy or exciting about that phrase, it is simply describing it the way it is, much as a scientist would. It sounds to me like a passage from a book on botany.
When I read "utmost simple purity," I found this as a somewhat religious observation. If not, it would surely be a poetic attempt, to romanticize the flower.
"Cried for joy" would not be a scientific observation. Never have I heard a researcher state that they cried for joy upon realizing that the effects of too much caffeine cause hallucinations. This would be a distraction from the study and has no place except in a seperate interview.

They have the same theme and that emerge from society and suddenly realize that out there is a better reality.
