Answer:
Option B. An example that Alan Weisman gives to show that nature has little concern for things that humans find important is <u>paintings in museums.</u>
Explanation:
American journalist Alan Weisman wrote a non-fiction book called "The World Without Us" in which he theorizes about what would happen to our planet and everything we have created and built, if humanity suddenly disappeared. Written as a thought experiment, the author explains that if humans disappeared, nature would restore itself everywhere, and by doing so, it would little by little destroy everything that humans considered vital and important, like paintings in museums. Valuable pieces of art that we, as humans, take great care of, would be destroy and ruined by the force of nature.
I believe the missing excerpt is from Midsummer by Derek
Walcott, which is as follows:
With the stampeding hiss and scurry of green lemmings,
midsummer's leaves race to extinction like the roar
of a Brixton riot tunneled by water hoses;
they seethe toward autumn's fire—it is in their nature,
being men as well as leaves, to die for the sun.
So, based on the excerpt, the speaker thinks that the
riot was somewhat inevitable.
To add, Midsummer is a sequence of 54 lyrics that record one
year's passing in the poet's life from summer to summer.
