Question

1. what element of \the legend of sleepy hollow\ reflects the european romantic literary tradition?

it connects the natural world with the supernatural.
its hero is a noble, educated man.
it includes a romantic relationship.
its characterization of country folk is comical and ironic.

Explanation:

European Romantic literary tradition often emphasizes the connection between the natural world and the supernatural. In "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", the setting (natural world) is intertwined with the supernatural elements like the Headless Horseman. The other options: a noble - educated man is not a key Romantic element; a romantic relationship is too simplistic as Romanticism is more than just that; comical and ironic characterization of country folk is more of a local color or satire element rather than Romantic.

Answer:

It connects the natural world with the supernatural.
