Answer 1

Answer: B. the transcendentalist movement

Step-by-step explanation:

B. the movement of transcendentalism.

Around the middle of the 19th century, Emerson was a key figure in the American transcendentalist movement. Individualism, independence, and the inherent goodness of both individuals and nature were all stressed by transcendentalism. In favour of a more intuitive and hands-on approach to spirituality and knowledge, it also rejected many conventional religious and societal ideas.
