Question

read the excerpt from \i wandered lonely as a cloud.\ when all at once i saw a crowd, a host, of golden daffodils; beside the lake, beneath the trees, fluttering and dancing in the breeze this excerpt is an example of romantic poetry because it hints at how people should live. uses everyday language. studies nature logically. is based on a folktale.

Explanation:

To determine why the excerpt is Romantic poetry, we analyze each option:

• "Hints at how people should live": Romantic poetry focuses on emotion, nature, and individual experience, not moral directives. Eliminate this.
• "Uses everyday language": Romanticism emphasized using common, accessible language to connect with ordinary people, unlike the formal language of earlier periods. The excerpt uses simple words like "crowd," "lake," "trees" to describe nature. This fits.
• "Studies nature logically": Romanticism views nature emotionally/imaginatively, not scientifically/logically. Eliminate.
• "Is based on a folktale": The poem is about the poet’s personal experience with daffodils, not a folktale. Eliminate.

Answer:

uses everyday language.
