Answer 1

## Step 1The first step in solving this problem is to understand the main ideas presented by both Emerson and Thoreau in their respective texts. ## Step 2Emerson, in his text "Society and Solitude", discusses the negative effects of society on individuals. He suggests that society can degrade individuals due to their sympathies and their relation to the "gross people" around them. He also emphasizes the importance of maintaining one's individuality and not being corrupted by societal norms.## Step 3Thoreau, on the other hand, in his text "Walden", advocates for simplicity and minimalism in life. He suggests that life is often overwhelmed by unnecessary details and complexities, and that simplicity can lead to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.## Step 4After understanding the main ideas of both authors, we can compare their perspectives. Emerson's perspective is that society can degrade individuals and that maintaining individuality is important, while Thoreau's perspective is that simplicity and minimalism can lead to a more fulfilling life.## Step 5Finally, we compare these perspectives with the options given in the question. The option that best fits the perspectives of both authors is option A: "Emerson says that independence is important because society is fickle, while Thoreau claims that simplicity is valuable because society is overwhelming."
