Dialogue and Internal thoughts can tell the reader how a character is feeling or reacting to a situation or situations, he/she is put in.
Are there any multiple choices for this question? Since there isn't, I'll propose a few.
"Karen felt a great connection with nature when she went hiking."
"Karen felt a great attachment with nature when she went hiking."
"Karen felt a great understanding (of) nature when she went hiking."
And if this is a multiple choice question, please list the choices.
Answers:
1. are
2. seems
Hope this helps!
