Question

In the line, "Such laughter is worse than the crackling of thorns under a pot, for it denotes not merely the vacant mind, but the heart in which high emotions have been choked before they could grow to fruition," the word "but" shows an opposite relationship between a vacant mind and high emotions, so we can conclude that high emotions are

negative
angry
indifferent
admirable

Answer 1

Admirable
In this excerpt, we can see that the author builds an opposite relationship between a vacant mind and high emotions. In other words, people who have a vacant mind cannot have high emotions. A vacant mind is an undesirable trait, as it means that the person does not have very complex and worthy thoughts. Therefore, the opposite of this, which are high emotions, is a desirable trait. So we can conclude that high emotions are admirable.
