Answer:

Rupert Brooke.

Step-by-step explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald's "This Side of Paradise" is a novel about American life post World War I. The novel follows the protagonist Amory Blaine through themes of love, social status, and the disappointment that one encounters when realizing the truth of life.

This novel's title is taken from Rupert Brooke's poem "Tiare Tahiti", with the poem ending in the lines

Well this side of Paradise! ....

There’s little comfort in the wise.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth or last option.
