Question

passage 1 excerpt from society and solitude by ralph waldo emerson the necessity of solitude is deeper than we have said, and is organic. i have seen many a philosopher whose world is large enough for only one person. he affects to be a good companion, but we are still surprising his secret, that he means and needs to impose his system on all the rest. the determination of each is from all the others, like that of each tree up into free space. t is no wonder, when each has his whole head, our societies should be so small. like president tyler, our party falls from us every day, and we must ride in a sulky at last. dear heart! take it sadly home to thee - there is no cooperation. we begin with friendships, and all our youth is a reconnoitering and recruiting of the holy fraternity they shall combine for the salvation of men. but so the remoter stars seem a nebula of united light, yet there is no group, which a telescope will not resolve, and the dearest friends are separated by impassable gulfs. the cooperation is involuntary, and is put upon us by the genius of life. who reserves this as a part of his prerogative. t is fine for us to talk, we sit and muse and are serene and complete, but the moment we meet with any - body, each becomes a fraction passage 2 which of the following expresses a similarity between the central ideas found in society and solitude and chapter i of nature? both passages stress the importance of individual contemplation. both passages explain what makes up a solid and productive society. both passages offer time spent in nature as a substitute for human company. both passages discourage either too much socializing or too much solitude.
