Read this excerpt from “Solitude” by Henry David Thoreau. I go and come with a strange liberty in Nature, a part of herself. As I walk along the stony shore of the pond in my shirt sleeves, though it is cool as well as cloudy and windy, and I see nothing special to attract me, all the elements are unusually congenial to me.

How does Thoreau distinguish the natural world, perhaps in contrast to the human world?

A. Nature provides him with shelter.
B. Nature is predictable and ordered.
C. Nature is a place where he feels like he belongs.
