Explanation:

• Question 347: Emerson was a Transcendentalist who valued individualism, self - reliance, and spiritual growth. The new market society's over - emphasis on work, profits, and consumption (materialistic aspects) was seen as a threat to the more intangible, spiritual aspects of life.
• Question 348: Nathaniel Hawthorne is the well - known author of The Scarlet Letter. Henry David Thoreau is known for Walden, Ralph Waldo Emerson for his essays on Transcendentalism, and Walt Whitman for Leaves of Grass.
• Question 349: Communism advocates for the common ownership of property. Socialism also has elements of collective ownership but may have more of a mixed - economy approach in some interpretations. Democracy is about governance (rule by the people), and republicanism is a form of government where representatives are elected.
