when emerson states, \it by no means follows that we are not fit for society, because soirees are tedious,\ in society and solitude, how does he support his statement?\n\nhe gives various reasons why parties are far less exciting and wholly unlike communities.\n\nhe tries to show that people behave differently at parties than they might elsewhere, and so parties are not a measure of human worth.\n\nhe suggests that a person has one conception of ones self when in a group and another when with just one other person.\n\nhe indicates that no individual is perfect and that parties are not a reason for people to gather together.

Answer

Brief Explanations:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

  • Option 1: The statement is about not being unfit for society because soirees (parties) are tedious. The first option focuses on why parties are unexciting, not on supporting the idea about being fit for society. Eliminate.
  • Option 2: Emerson's statement implies that the tediousness of soirees (parties) doesn't mean one is unfit for society. This option says parties aren't a measure of human worth (so a person's fit for society isn't determined by parties), which supports the statement.
  • Option 3: The option talks about self - conception in groups vs. with one other, which is not related to the idea of being fit for society based on soirees. Eliminate.
  • Option 4: The option is about individuals being imperfect and parties as a reason to gather, which is not related to the statement about being fit for society. Eliminate.

Answer:

B. He tries to show that people behave differently at parties than they might elsewhere, and so parties are not a measure of human worth.
