Answer 2

The statement that best describes how the tone of Society and Solitude is different from the tone of Chapter 1 of Nature is Option D: Society and Solitude has a contemplative tone, while Nature has a more lyrical and whimsical tone.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the poem 'Society and Solitude', 'Ralph Waldo Emerson' says that conversation is very important and can build or destroy relations between people. Also, one should understand the importance of solitude in a larger community.

In chapter 1 of 'Nature', Emerson says that nature can have a healing effect on one's mind and body. It is very soothing. Option D most aptly signifies the tone of both the poems. Society and Solitude doesn't have reserved or morbid tone as mentioned in other options. Also, nature has lyrical tone describing nature's beauty and not forceful tone.
