Question

critically read this passage from nature to assess emerson’s argument.
in the woods, we return to reason and faith. there i feel that nothing can befall me in life, —no disgrace, no calamity, (leaving me my eyes,) which nature cannot repair.
what is emerson’s argument?
nature contains faith and reason.
nature reflects disgrace and calamity.
nature can repair all things.

Explanation:

The passage states that in nature, one returns to reason and faith, and that no life misfortune (disgrace, calamity) except losing eyesight is beyond nature's ability to repair. This aligns with the claim that nature can repair all things (with the noted minor exception, which does not negate the core argument). The other options either misstate the passage or contradict it.

Answer:

Nature can repair all things.
