Explanation:

Neil deGrasse Tyson often frames humanity as small and vulnerable against the vast, impersonal forces of the universe, emphasizing human powerlessness in the face of natural cosmic forces. In the Collins excerpt, the speaker casts himself as "the hub of the cosmos" with hope of reaching downtown, framing an individual actively shaping his own path and destiny. The correct option aligns these contrasting perspectives.

Answer:

Tyson presents humans as powerless against the forces of nature, while Collins presents an individual creating his own destiny.
