(MC) Read this passage from "The Calypso Borealis" and answer the following question: Oftentimes I had to sleep without blankets, and sometimes without supper, but usually I had no great difficulty in finding a loaf of bread here and there at the houses of the farmer settlers in the widely scattered clearings. With one of these large backwoods loaves I was able to wander many a long wild fertile mile in the forests and bogs, free as the winds, gathering plants, and glorying in God's abounding inexhaustible spiritual beauty bread. Storms, thunderclouds, winds in the woods-were welcomed as friends. Which words from the paragraph best show Muir's naturalist philosophy? (10 points) Sleep without blankets Sometimes without supper Widely scattered clearings Welcomed as friends

The words from this paragraph from The Calypso Borealis that best show Muir's naturalist philosophy are the last ones:

"Welcomed as friends"

In the whole passage, the author shows us how deeply connected the character was with nature. It is very clear when Muir says: "With one of these large backwoods loaves I was able to wander many a long wild fertile mile in the forests and bogs, free as the winds, gathering plants, and glorying in God's abounding inexhaustible spiritual beauty bread."

Winds, plants, storms the woods, everything was perceived by Muir as loving friends cohabiting the beautiful world.
