Multiple ChoiceReview the text.I become aware for the first time today of the immense silence in which I am lost. Not a silence so much as a stillness—for there are a few sounds: the creak of some bird in a juniper tree, an eddy of wind which passes and fades like a sigh, the ticking of the watch on my wrist—slight noises which . . . exaggerate my sense of the surrounding, overwhelming peace. . . . If I look at the small device strapped to my wrist the numbers, even the sweeping second hand, seem meaningless, almost ridiculous. No travelers, no campers, no wanderers have come to this part of the desert today and for a few moments I feel and realize that I am very much alone.From Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire.
