Answer:
Given the comparison made by Thoreau, we can say his opinion is the following:
D) Thoreau believes that most men live earthly, purely physical lives without time for higher, spiritual thoughts.
Explanation:
"It appeared to me that for a like reason men remain in their present low and primitive condition; but if they should feel the influence of the spring of springs arousing them, they would of necessity rise to a higher and more ethereal life."

Thoreau believes it is possible for men to reach higher intellectual and spiritual grounds. However, most of them seem to prefer the numbness.</u>
The correct answer is [4] Each of the teachers teach in a different way.
Explanation:
In grammar, indefinite-pronouns are words such as all, every, many, each, someone, etc. that refer to a subject indefinitely. Additionally, depending on the indefinite pronoun this is considered as singular or plural and therefore should be followed by a singular or plural form to show pronoun verb agreement. For example the pronouns each, every, somebody are singular while the pronouns many, all or both are plural. According to this, the sentence with an indefinite-pronoun verb agreement is "Each of the teachers teach in a different way" because the indefinite pronoun should be followed by the singular form "teaches" rather than the plural form "teach".
