HELP!!! When I took up my abode in the woods, that is, began to spend my nights as well as days there, which, by accident was on Independence day, or the fourth of July, 1845, my house was not finished for winter, but was merely a defence against the rain, withou plastering
or chimney, the walls being of rough weather-stained boards, with wide chinks, which made it cool at night. The upright white hewn studs and
freshly planed door and window casings gave it a clean and airy look, especially in the morning, when its timbers were saturated with dew, so that I
fancied that by noon some sweet gum would exude from them. To my imagination it retained throughout the day more or less of this auroral
character, reminding me of a certain house on a mountain which I had visited the year before. This was an airy and unplastered cabin, fit to
entertain a travelling god, and where a goddess might trail her garments. The winds which passed over my dwelling were such as sweep over the
ridges of mountains, bearing the broken strains, or celestial parts only, of terrestrial music. The morning wind forever blows, the poem of creation is
uninterrupted; but few are the ears that hear it Olympus is but the outside of the earth every where,
(from Walden by Henry David Thoreau)
Based on the allusion to Olympus, what does the author most likely believe?
O 1. Every person who lives in nature is surrounded by grandeur.
O 2. A home that was built by hand is finer than one that was not.
3.
A lavish home is better suited for gods and goddesses than it is for humans.
4. Living in an incomplete home helps one develop strength against the elements of nature.
