Answer:

A. The Bronx squirrels that eat nearly all of the trees' acorn in the New York Botanical Garden.

Explanation:

<em>The City Without Us </em>is a chapter of the book <em>The World Without Us</em> written by American journalist Alan Weisman. It tells about what would happen to the natural and built environment if humans suddenly disappeared.

<em>The City Without Us</em> gives us an image of what New York would look like without humans. Some of the details are presented in the options you were given.

It's expected that wild animals, wolves included, would enter the city if there were no humans. That's how nature works.

Money is a concept invented by the man, and it has no meaning if humans don't exist. It has nothing to do with nature.

The ocean is a large force and it's one of the obvious proofs of how powerful nature is. In the story, though, it has not yet broken the levees around New York City.

What remains are the squirrels. No one would think that squirrels could do something major. Without anyone or anything controlling their population, though, they could eat nearly every acorn in the New York Botanical Garden, thus preventing them from growing into new oaks. That way they would reduce the oak tree population in New York. They show that nature is even more powerful than it appears.

Write two to three sentences that describe Thoreau’s viewpoint in this passage.
Deffense [45]
Thoreau's <em>overall</em> viewpoint was that it was in solitude with nature that a man could really learn to thrive. He argued that a life of luxury was an unnecessary one and that a man could easily make a living without even having to sweat if he would just strip his life of unneeded, materialistic items. I hope this helps, although I am not sure how to narrow this down seeing as your question is incomplete.

Which of the following sentences best describes Douglass’s opinion about slavery? A.Slavery relies on the conscience to maintain
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. Slavery is a degrading institution to all those involved.

Explanation:

As Douglass narrates, slavery not only degrades slaves, but slavers as well. He tells of all the aberrations that he suffered from the slavers and you can see how those people reach the lowest point that a human being can reach.

Even Sophia Auld, who started out as a kind person and who taught Douglass, ended up being despicable because of the power that being a slave trader brought.

Given this information we can say that the correct answer is option C.
