Not a subject to control or rule by another
Khalil’s shooting and the ongoing investigation of Officer Cruise put the theme of injustice at the forefront of the novel. The fact that Khalil was unarmed and did not threaten the officer makes his murder unjust. The police are unjust at other points, too, such as when they force Maverick to the ground and pat him down. Race is tied into this theme of injustice as well, since pervasive racism prevents African-Americans from obtaining justice. Starr and Maverick in particular are focused on bringing justice not only for Khalil but also for African-Americans and other oppressed groups, such as the poor. The activist group that Starr joins is called Just Us for Justice because it fights against police maltreatment on the basis of race. At the end of the novel, Starr accepts that injustice might continue but reinforces her determination to fight against it.

Answer: a. People no longer feel that they are part of nature.
Explanation
People have become obsessed with material objects, and have lost their relationship with nature. The lack of this relationship is an issue of great importance today, but it was also present in 1807, when Wordsworth's poem <em>''The World Is Too Much With Us ''</em> was published. The speaker has noticed that people neglect nature and is dissatisfied because of that. In this particular line, the speaker disapproves of people's behavior towards nature. The underlying message is that nature should not be taken for granted.
