Which of the following is not a tenet of romanticism? a)writing for all people b)an innate goodness and innocence in humanity c)nature as a source for spiritual nourishment d)cynicism of the world e) romantic view of people (individualism) f)passionate emotion g)imagination over reason choose all that are correct

The correct answer is D. Cynicism of the world, it is not a tenet of Romanticism. 

Cynicism and Romanticism are an oxymoron (they have completely opposite meanings). Cynicism is rooted in pessimism and negativity while Romanticism spreads hope and optimism. 

This applies also in literature and art. The Romanticism movement explored the exotic, the spirituality and was based on individualism and the interest of everything outside the “normal” and rational realm, such as dreams and ghosts.

the correct answer is d. a discussion of specific uses of alliteration

.

when you are critiquing or evaluating a poem, you will mostly pay attention to the theme, as well as figures of speech and rhythm. alliteration is a figure of speech where consonants are repeated in neighboring words - and it is important for analysis of sound and rhythm, which is why it might appear in the evaluation of that poem.
