Answer:

3. Man shows indifference to nature through his activities.

Explanation:

According to Ralph Waldo Emerson's Nature address, the present generation interacts with nature based on second-hand experience as they do the same things previous generations did, without interacting with both nature and God directly.

The main statement of the passage refers to how man admires the beauty of nature.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • "Nature" written by Emerson is a text that seeks to emphasize the importance of nature in human life.
  • This text has a strong ecological bias, showing how nature is an extremely important element in the life of all living beings, including humans.
  • The passage to which the question refers focuses on showing how human beings are enchanted with the beauty and meaning that nature has.

We can reach this conclusion when the narrator states that:

"When we speak of nature in this manner, we have a distinct but most poetical sense in the mind."
