Answer 1

I strongly belive it is A, but I could be wrong.

Answer 2

Answer: A. The author uses this metaphor to illustrate his love of nature.

Step-by-step explanation: Thoreau makes it clear, through this metaphor, that time spent in contact with nature (sunny hours and summer days) was for him as valuable as a material wealth is for most people, so much so that he considered himself rich.
