Question

Thoreau recalls the afternoon rainstorms as fierce and intimidating.
A. True
B. False

Answer 1

FALSE. Because Thoreau, in his writings, has mentioned this before: "Some of my pleasantest hours were during the long rainstorms... which confined me to the house for the afternoon..."

So from this quote by Thoreau, one can reason that he actually enjoyed the rainstorms. Thus, this is FALSE.
