c. scholars should spend most of their time reading, not thinking or speculating
d. the office of the scholar is to cheer, uplift, and guide men by teaching them the facts
e. a and b
f. a and d

Answer 1

You are asking someone to read the essay and then tell you what Emerson said. Which defeats the entire purpose of you doing the reading, practicing reading comprehension, and figuring out the answer for yourself.

No wonder so many people in this country are incapable of thinking for themselves.
