Read the excerpt from Walden by Henry David

Thoreau.
(1) Many think that seeds improve with age. (2) I have
no doubt that time discriminates between the good and
the bad; and when at last I shall plant, I shall be less
likely to be disappointed. (3) But I would say to my
fellows, once for all, As long as possible live free and
uncommitted. (4) It makes but little difference whether
you are committed to a farm or the county jail.

Answer:

The answer is B) "seen from a higher still, and the highest, who shall say what they are, or that they are worth looking at or thinking of at all?"I am 100% sure because the THESAURUS of implicitly, not definition (because this is english) means completely, absolutely, totally, etc. Also, the question states that 'implicitly argues that people need to think independently and QUESTION authority?" So, B is the only option that demonstrates that people need think independently. Plus, its the only option that has a QUESTION MARK!
