done

Explanation:

• For the option "They suggest that clergy are wise and wonderful people": The poem "Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church" by Emily Dickinson does not focus on portraying clergy as such; instead, it emphasizes a more personal, nature - based spirituality, so this is incorrect.
• For the option "They suggest that the glories of nature are just as spiritual as a church, if not more so": Dickinson uses images of nature (like birds as a choir, the orchard as a dome) to show that nature can be a place of spiritual connection, similar or even more so than a traditional church, so this is correct.
• For the option "They suggest that going to church may not be the best or only route to heaven": The poem's imagery of finding spirituality in nature implies that one doesn't need to go to church to have a spiritual (and by extension, a path to heaven - like) experience, so this is correct.
• For the option "They suggest that churches should replace choirs with birds and other animals": The poem is not about reforming churches but about presenting an alternative source of spirituality in nature, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

• They suggest that the glories of nature are just as spiritual as a church, if not more so.
• They suggest that going to church may not be the best or only route to heaven.
