Read the excerpt from "The Flight from Conversation" by Sherry Turkle. I spend the summers at a cottage on Cape Cod, and for decades I walked the same dunes that Thoreau once walked. Not
too long ago, people walked with their heads up, looking at the water, the sky, the sand and at one another, talking. Now they
often walk with their heads down, typing.
Henry David Thoreau was an American writer and philosopher credited with helping to develop Transcendentalism-a system of
thought that valued nature, experience, and intuition above religion, science, and reason. Based on the article, Turkle most likely
uses this allusion to Thoreau to
А
point out how long it has been since people were able to truly communicate with others in person.
B
support her claim about having authentic experiences by linking it to Thoreau's ideas
С
suggest that the way people communicate now would alarm historical figures such as Thoreau.
D
recommend that people read Thoreau to learn about his ideas on the value of the outdoors.
