Read this passage from Walden by Henry David Thoreau. What is Thoreau comparing in this passage?
It is remarkable how easily and insensibly we fall into a particular route, and make a beaten
track for ourselves. I had not lived there a week before my feet wore a path from my door to
the pond-side; and though it is five or six years since I trod it, it is still quite distinct. It is true, I
fear that others may have fallen into it, and so helped to keep it open. The surface of the earth
is soft and impressible by the feet of men; and so with the paths which the mind travels. How
worn and dusty, then, must be the highways of the world, how deep the ruts of tradition and
conformity!

A. Worn paths are compared to conformity

B. A path is compared to the feet

C. Ideas are compared to feet

D. The mind is compared to traveling
