Answer:

C. He wanted to create a utopian colony in America.

Step-by-step explanation:

Samuel Taylor Coleridge was an English poet-writer who was famous for his many works of both literary texts and also as a critic of others' works. He also became a great pioneer and inspiration for future writers and as patronage for many.

While in college in Cambridge, he became acquainted with his friend Robert Allen's friend Robert Southey. As the two men became more acquainted, they proposed a plan to establish a utopia, an idea that Southey had already thought of before. This utopia was a society where everyone is equal and rule equally. And this 1794 plan was to establish a utopian society in America, more specifically along the banks of the Susquehanna River.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
