d. condemned darwin as \godless.\

Explanation:

• For question 8: Romanticism emphasized the artist's imagination, emotions, and individualism. Option A aligns with this as it mirrors the artist's imagination. Option B (re - create nature) was more of a Realist or Naturalist tendency in some cases. The Ecole des Beaux - Arts (Option C) was more associated with academic art which Romanticism often rebelled against. Option D (focus on urban poor) was more of a Realist or Social Realist theme.
• For question 9: Realist novels like those of Flaubert and Dickens aimed to depict society as it was, often criticizing aspects of the society they lived in (nineteenth - century life). Option A (using author's emotions and imagination) is more of a Romantic trait. Option C (survival of the fittest) is related to Social Darwinism. Option D (condemned Darwin) is not a main focus of their realist novels.

Answer:

1. A. mirror the artist’s imagination
2. B. criticized aspects of nineteenth - century life
