Answer 1

Answer: A. Montag’s enjoyment of the sensory experience of being in nature

Explanation:

Human beings have a tendency to exaggerate when they are happy about something which is why when Montag was outside of the city and in the presence of nature, his total enjoyment of the serenity that came with the sensory experience of being in nature prompted him to declare that he must have seen a billion leaves even if he did not.
