Karin felt a great ___ with nature when she went hiking
Connection
Explanation:
The reason why she felt a connection is because we as human beings are creatures of outdoors, exploring, and scenery. Thus, we will find different stimuli from different activities and scenarios or environments. Those tastes are learned, we discover them after being exposed to them. They might be influenced by our watchers/parents/caregivers, but we can also discover them and are related to our most basic instincts. Therefore, Karin felt a great connection to nature. Because she liked so much the environment she felt as if she was in her natural habitat.
It means that they have to take on the trouble they went or are going through, (they as in whoever the story is talking about) and will have to deal with it
