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."

<u>Thoreau uses the numbness of the snake as a metaphor for the figurative numbness of men. The primitive state that he mentions above is a low state of consciousness, solely focused on material possessions and earthly pursuits that, to his mind, have no real purpose. Thoreau believes it is possible for men to reach higher intellectual and spiritual grounds. However, most of them seem to prefer the numbness.</u>

Genrish500 [490]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The second statement in the given excerpt illustrates that Nicki is a round character. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

This is because she is feeling the footsteps of the thugs and also is able to think about their behaviour or character. She can compare their characteristics with the sacks of sugar because it can be bought and sold. She is not indulging into deep thinking by stopping in the woods. Rather she knows and thinks while moving forward and figuring out what to do.

Dramatic irony means that
Naily [24]
Dramatic irony means that the audience knows something the characters do not. For example, in the beginning of Hamlet, we know immediately that Claudius was the one who killed Hamlet's father, however, he doesn't know that from the very start.
