Question

select the correct answer.
which of the following is a trait of american romanticism?
a. glorifying industrialization and modernization
b. exploring the imagination and emotions of the individual
c. regarding nature as superior to the individual
d. emphasizing logic and scientific fact
e. criticizing superstitious beliefs and blind faith

Explanation:

American romanticism focused on the individual's imagination and emotions. It was a reaction against the rationalism and industrialization of the time. Option A is incorrect as romanticism was often critical of industrialization. Option C is more of a transcendentalist trait (though related to romanticism but not the main trait asked here). Option D is of the opposing rationalist - scientific mindset. Option E is more of an enlightenment - like trait (criticizing superstition through reason, which is different from romanticism's focus on emotion and imagination).

Answer:

B. exploring the imagination and emotions of the individual
