A bit tricky question
A retreat to nature appealed to Thoreau for reasons other than the solitude that it provided.
A quite place to retire was important for him for reasons other than solitude. Here, solitude is important because will help us to understand the second blank
Thoreau believed that (i) _______ the untamed put him in touch with an (ii) _______ that, by definition, could not be replicated by the schemings of 19th-century man.
he believed that the immersion into the wild would give him the things or emotions out of a scheme that in general, he could not find in regular life. As such, the second blank is D and not F
The solitude aforementioned often intends a simple life. But he went into the wild for OTHER reasons than solitude. So F is wrong
B and D are the answers

How do we know that
How do we know that
Quote:
A retreat to nature
means Quote:
A quite place to retire
? I got the gist of the question and the logic, but couldn't understand the equivalency?
