Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
The first quote mentions that nature is "always ready to heal every scar", which directly implies its resilience. The other quotes either talk about mismanagement (second quote), public opinion (third quote), or destruction (fourth quote) and do not emphasize nature's resilience as effectively as the first one.
# Answer:
"The directors of a line that guarded against fires and cleared a clean gap edged with living trees might justly boast of the beauty of their road, for nature is always ready to heal every scar, but there is no such road on the western side of the continent" (paragraph 1)
