none of the choices

Explanation:

To determine which statement has a negative context, we analyze each option:

• "The remoter stars seem a nebula of united light" is a descriptive, neutral/positive - sounding statement about stars.
• "A man must be clothed with society" implies a positive or necessary relationship with society.
• "If solitude is proud, so is society vulgar" uses the word "vulgar" to describe society, which has a negative connotation.
• "None of the choices" is incorrect as we identified a statement with negative context.

Answer:

C. If solitude is proud, so is society vulgar
