(A) Romanticist.

Poems in the Romantic Era moved away from reasoning and logic and instead drew focus to the imagination and emotions. 100%

Answer 2

The term which best completes the sentence is the following one:

B. Romanticist

Step-by-step explanation:

The authors from the Romantic era were rather intense when expressing their feelings. They would idealize the people they fell in love with in such a drastic way that things would often turn out to be disappointing, since their characters, when going further than unrequited love, would find out their beloved ones were not as extraordinary and supreme as they had imagined. Plus, they would allow their characters to let themselves go and enter a state of pure obsession, which would sometimes lead them to find drastic solutions to their problems, as in Goethe's "The Sorrows of Young Werther".
