In the letter from Carthage, what did McCandless advise Ron Franz to do?

• A. Get out of habitual lifestyle and be in tune with nature and seek new adventures
• B. Stay in your routine and avoid risk
• C. Get a new job in the city
• D. Withdraw from society completely

Answer: (A)

McCandless is urging Ron Franz to break free from his settled, habitual life and reconnect with the natural world through new experiences. In the Carthage letter, Chris encourages stepping away from routine, embracing simplicity, and seeking adventures that come from being outdoors and facing life directly. This perspective reflects his belief that authentic living happens when you confront the world rather than stay safely boxed inside familiar comforts. The other options conflict with this message because they emphasize staying in a routine, chasing urban work, or retreating from society, rather than pursuing a more open, nature-centered life.
