Answer 1

A poem by a Romanticist will celebrate the individual and emotions, whereas a poem by a _____ will be objective and nonjudgmental in its detailed and realistic portrayal of war. B.
Naturalist

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. Naturalist

Step-by-step explanation:

The Naturalism was a literary movement that emerged in the nineteenth century and that is opposite to the Romanticism, while romanticism focused on the individual, the emotions, the nature, and the imagination Naturalism is about representing the reality form an objective and nonjudgemental way, this means the writer avoids using elements of fiction or take a position or judgment about some situation that can modify the way the situation really is. This included portraying difficult situations and not only positive ones as in occurred in other movements, this means naturalist narratives and poems included themes such as death, violence, and war. Thus, while a Romantic poem will celebrate the individual and emotions, a Naturalist poem will be objective and nonjudgemental including detail and realistic portrays of war or other non-ideal realities.
