The Romantic period is characterized by passion and emotion being more credible and trustworthy than logic and reason. Wordsworth defines poetry as "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" reflects Romanticism because it is full of feeling, not thinking. An Enlightenment definition would be something like "literary work expressing something using style and rhythm." This definition shows the importance of feelings over thinking for Wordsworth, and how reality doesn't matter in his style. Poetry was the form of choice because it lacks structure especially since most Romantics wrote in blank verse, completely devoid of structure. Poetry is meant to be an emotional art form without structure in blank verse, and Romantics preferred feeling, so lack of structure would remove an obstacle to really let emotions shine in their work.

She is madly in love with him and does not understand how he is still alive and is enraptured by the enigma and mysterious circumstances his appearance has brought into her life.

Women were viewed as helpless and Daisy was probably thought incapable of a vicious murder so the police did not pursue an indictment. Her husband was also a powerful businessman and must have certainly had clout in the political sphere.</span>
A. Anna asks Beth to go to the beach, and Beth replies, "Sure, I'd love to lay in dirt and be roasted like a pig at a barbeque!"
Sarcasm is a form of irony. It is when a person says the opposite of what they really mean. In option A, Beth does not want to go to the beach because she doesn't enjoy sitting in the sand and getting burnt by the sun. We know this because she compares the sand to dirt and being in the sun to a pig roasting at a barbeque. The other options are true statements. The rainbow does match the crayons, waffles are a breakfast food, and Linda's writing was stellar.
