Question

question 10 of 10
what example does alan weisman give to show that nature has little concern for things that humans find important?

a. clothing in department stores

b. coyotes in central park

c. squirrels in the bronx

d. money in bank vaults

Explanation:

In his work (e.g., The World Without Us), Alan Weisman uses the example of money in bank vaults to illustrate nature’s indifference to human-valued things. Money is highly important to humans, but nature (e.g., corrosion, environmental decay) would destroy it over time without regard for its human significance. Other options (clothing, coyotes, squirrels) do not directly highlight nature’s disregard for human-important items as clearly as the decay of money.

Answer:

D. Money in bank vaults
