1. No.
2. Yes.
So , number 1 is wrong right ?
In works like "To Build a Fire," Naturalist writers such as Jack London advocated:
x trusting in the wisdom of the natural world
Respect for the power and wildness of the natural world
Remaining always within the protective boundaries of civilization
Celebrating the lighter side of life in the woods
To determine the correct answer from the provided options, let's analyze the characteristics of Naturalist writers and the themes of "To Build a Fire."
Naturalist writers, like Jack London, believed in the power and unpredictability of nature. They often portrayed humans as insignificant when faced with the forces of nature. In "To Build a Fire," the protagonist underestimates the harsh conditions of the Yukon and pays the ultimate price for his lack of respect for nature.
Looking at the options, we can eliminate the choices "Remaining always within the protective boundaries of civilization" and "Celebrating the lighter side of life in the woods." These options do not align with the Naturalist ideology.
The remaining choices are:
x trusting in the wisdom of the natural world
Respect for the power and wildness of the natural world
While both options seem appropriate, the stronger choice is "Respect for the power and wildness of the natural world." This better reflects the Naturalist theme of acknowledging and responding to the dominance of nature.
Therefore, the correct answer is "Respect for the power and wildness of the natural world."
Moving on to the second question:
In James Thurber's story "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," readers gradually discover that the title character:
Leads a thrilling life of adventure but longs for a quieter existence
x is outwardly embarrassed or clumsy but is a very different man on the inside
Enjoys his life thoroughly and sees no reason to change it
Understands the necessity of standing up for himself
To answer this question correctly, we must consider the plot and character development in "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty."
Throughout the story, Walter Mitty escapes from mundane reality by daydreaming about being a hero in various adventurous situations. In these daydreams, he is confident, capable, and different from how he appears in his outward life. This indicates that Walter Mitty is outwardly embarrassed or clumsy, but on the inside, he is a different man.
Based on this analysis, the correct answer is "is outwardly embarrassed or clumsy but is a very different man on the inside."
I hope this helps!
