Question

1. according to thoreau, why did he go to live alone in the woods?

to write a book about cabin building
to learn the essentials of life
to escape from concord society
to learn about pond ecosystems

Explanation:

Thoreau went to live alone in the woods to learn the essentials of life. In Walden, he wrote about his experiences and reflections during his time in nature. He wanted to simplify his life and understand what was truly important. Writing a book about cabin building was a result of his experience, not the main reason. He did not aim to escape from Concord society in a negative sense but rather to gain a different perspective. Learning about pond ecosystems was part of his observations but not the core motivation.

Answer:

to learn the essentials of life
