This is a nice one.
The four Alcott girls received education in arts and science. It suggests that the learning was comprehensive.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, and Henry David Thoreau - All these people are big names/famous people as the girls' father was a noted experimental educator and the last sentence suggests that they were important thinkers.
All these people were family friends and important thinkers in their own fields.
Broad, luminaries & in their own right
Answer B D H

why cant "past and present" be the answer to the third blank? the father is teaching his daughters about the thinkers of past and present. isnt it correct?
