In his 1817 poem "The Classical Revival" (also known as "The Prospect of Society"), what idea does Ralph Waldo Emerson propose an antidote for?

  1. Materialism

  2. Conformity

  3. Colonialism

  4. Political corruption

The correct answer is: Conformity

In his poem, "The Classical Revival," Ralph Waldo Emerson argues against the growing conformity of society during the time of the Industrial Revolution. He believes that this conformity stifles individual thought and creativity. While materialism, colonialism, and political corruption were also prevalent issues during this time period, Emerson does not specifically address them in his poem. Therefore, they cannot serve as correct answers to the question.
