Final answer:

Thoreau's style in these passages is repeating main ideas, demonstrated through simple and concise writing.


Explanation:

Thoreau's style in these passages from Walden is repeating main ideas. By emphasizing 'simplicity, simplicity, simplicity,' he is repeating the main concept to drive it home.

For instance, using mathematical examples, if Thoreau mentioned 'let your affairs be as two or three' repeatedly, it would reinforce the idea of simplicity numerically.
