I think its should be B & E, not B & F, an simplicity is incorrect.... the untamed put him in touch with an simplicity that, by definition, could not be replicated by the schemings of 19th-century man.

B and D There are more clues for the first blank, so start there. Since “a retreat to nature appealed to Thoreau,” he most likely absorbed himself in the untamed. The word closest in meaning to absorbed is immersion. What did “immersion in the untamed” put Thoreau in touch with? A good guess would be the word untamed. Of the choices, the word closest in meaning to untamed is unpredictability. :-D
