Answer:

B. The speaker is admiring nature.

Explanation:

Nikki Grimes's poem "First Night" is a short poem of 18 lines separated in three stanzas. In the poem, the speaker talks of the beauty of the night sky and addressed another person named<em> "Zuri"</em>.

The speaker was camping out at her aunt's backyard, narrating the poem as a letter to <em>"Zuri"</em>. Line 5 and 6 says<em> "Sleeping was hard with all the sparkling beauty hanging overhead"</em>. Further lines reveal<em> "Night-lights", "cluster of fireflies", </em>and<em> "the sky"</em>, all a wondrous sight for the speaker. The beautiful nature, the night sky, and its beauty made sleeping difficult for the speaker.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

He wants to be well-off , to get a job that would allow him to buy a house with porch in a green suburban area. This money would gain him people´s respect.

Roosevelt is very appreciative of Yosemite. A piece of evidence to support this claim is this statement by him: "There can be nothing in the world more beautiful than the Yosemite, the groves of the giant sequoias...our people should see to it that they are preserved for their children and their children's children forever, with their majestic beauty all unmarred."

In this statement made by Theodore Roosevelt, we find evidence of his feeling about the Yosemite wilderness.

In 1903, he was led to this wilderness by John Muir, a notable naturalist. He loved the place and eventually signed the Yosemite Recession Bill.

The quote above that was made by him in his autobiography, lends credence to this fact.
