Question

what does \civil disobedience\ suggest about the jailers opinion of thoreaus arrest for tax evasion? tax evasion was not a serious offense. they expected thoreau to be released quickly. thoreau deserved to lose his freedom. tax evasion was one of the more grave crimes one could commit.

Explanation:

In Thoreau's Civil Disobedience, the jailer interacts with Thoreau as someone who violated a legal obligation, viewing the act of tax evasion as a transgression that merits confinement. The jailer upholds the law's authority, so they believe Thoreau deserves to be imprisoned for his act. The other options are inconsistent: the text does not suggest the jailer sees tax evasion as non-serious, expects quick release, or views it as a grave top-tier crime.

Answer:

Thoreau deserved to lose his freedom.
