Which of these represents religious authority is "walking around"?
a. nuns
b. priests
c. god
d. churches

The correct answer is "A: Nuns".

In the poem "Walking Around", Pablo Neruda depicts the sentiment of a man who is clearly disappointed with life and demotivated by everything. This man decides to go out for a walk and starts thinking about the things he cannot stand anymore but also the things he would love to do before he passes away. It is this point where he talks about wrongdoings such "terrify a law clerk with a cut lily" and "killing a nun with a blow on the ear", making reference to the law clerk as a civil authority and the nun as a form of religious authority.
