Which statement from the essay illustrates how morris feels about things? (4 points) select one: a. it sounds wasteful, but i don't believe it really is b. empty! yes, heaven! c. i have not their courage, and i win no such freedom. d. i cherish an ideal, remotely typified by that empty little house beside the sea.

Option B shows how Morris feels about things.

We can arrive at this answer because:

The lack of objects is like freedom for her, as she does not need to clean, store or take care of them. She feels good, just having nature around her and the peace that an empty house provides
