What is secret is not what is separate. - This option does not accurately capture the author's point. The passage discusses secrecy and separateness together, implying both are problematic, but it doesn't distinguish them as fundamentally different concepts in this context.
Secrecy is not exactly the same as separateness. - This is not what the author is emphasizing. The passage treats secrecy and separateness as intertwined issues that lead to suspicion, rather than as distinct concepts to be differentiated.
It is natural to be suspicious of secrecy. - The passage supports this inference. It states that any appearance of secrecy or separateness would \"instantly, and justly, be looked upon with suspicion,\" suggesting that it is natural and reasonable to be suspicious of secrecy.
It only takes an instant for a relationship to deteriorate. - While the passage mentions that suspicion arises instantly, it does not discuss the deterioration of relationships in this context. The focus is on the immediate reaction to secrecy, not the long-term effects on relationships.
