Read this passage from Walden by Henry David Thoreau. What is Thoreau comparing in this passage?
It is remarkable how easily and insensibly we fall into a particular route, and make a beaten
track for ourselves. I had not lived there a week before my feet wore a path from my door to
the pond-side; and though it is five or six years since I trod it, it is still quite distinct. It is true, I
fear that others may have fallen into it, and so helped to keep it open. The surface of the earth
is soft and impressible by the feet of men; and so with the paths which the mind travels. How
worn and dusty, then, must be the highways of the world, how deep the ruts of tradition and
conformity!

A. Worn paths are compared to conformity

B. A path is compared to the feet

C. Ideas are compared to feet

D. The mind is compared to traveling

Which two parts of this excerpt from mary shelley’s frankenstein reveals information about the setting? (it was on a dreary night of november that i beheld the accomplishment of my toils.) with an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, (i collected the instruments of life around me, that i might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. it was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out) when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, i saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs. (how can i describe my emotions at this catastrophe), or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care i had endeavored to form? his limbs were in proportion, and i had selected his features as beautiful. beautiful! great god! (his yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; ) but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same color as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips.
