Question

read the passage from john muirs 1901 book, our national parks.
humankind... is rapidly multiplying and spreading, covering the seas and lakes with ships, the land with huts, hotels,
cathedrals, and clustered city shops and homes, so that soon, it would seem, we may have to go farther than african
explorer livingstone to find a good sound solitude. none of natures landscapes are ugly so long as they are wild and
much, we can say comfortingly, must always be in great part wild, particularly the sea and the sky, the fields of light
from the stars, and the warm, inscrutable heart of the earth, jointly beautiful though exclusively useful to the wild
imagination.
what does the underlined phrase most likely refer to?
o the sun
o earths core
o human creativity
o americas landscapes

Explanation:

The phrase "the fountains of light from the stars, and the warm, unshakable heart of the earth" is a poetic description. The sun is a star that emits light. Earth's core is not directly related to "fountains of light from the stars". Human creativity and America's landscapes are not relevant to this celestial and earth - related imagery.

Answer:

the sun
