1.Where does Emerson believe true knowledge comes from?

The correct answer is B: The inside: the inherent moral sense.

Emerson believed that true knowledge comes from the inside, that is, from our intuition and imagination, and not from our logic or from our senses. He also says that people should believe in themselves and not rely too much on their logic.

2. Why does Emerson call consistency the “hobgoblin of little minds”?

The correct answer is A: Because it’s very difficult for flawed humans to act consistently.

Emerson believed that self-reliance is connected with human intuition and act confidently while respecting social and moral rules. With this sentence, Emerson actually wants to say that little statesmen and philosophers and divines are not critical enough to change their little minds, because they consider that people should have the same opinion during their lifetime.

3. Transcendentalism grew most directly out of what specific religious sect?

The correct answer is B: Unitarianism.  

Transcendentalism is a  philosophical movement that was created in the 19th century, in the United States. It represents the most direct representation of unitarianism. It was a parallel movement with the Unitarianism and incorporated a lot of Unitarian ideas at its doctrine.
