What is the meaning of Thoreau's statement I have learned that the swiftest traveller is he that goes afoot? 1. Walking for travel is the preferred method, because it is a healthy form of exercise.
2. People should travel by walking to places, so they can enjoy the views of the countryside.
3. Companions usually slow someone down, so it is best to travel by walking and to travel alone.
O 4. Since walking is free, a person doesn't have to work to pay for the fare and can start immediately.
