Step-by-step explanation:

1. When in his poem "Annabel Lee" Edgar Allen Poe writes "the moon never beams without bringing me dreams of the beautiful Annabel Lee", he is using the literary technique of personification.

This is so because an object that is not human is portrayed as though it was human.

2. The Latin title that the Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge chose for his poem, "Apologia Pro Vita Sua" translated to English means apology for my life/lifestyle.

3. In the poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" the English Romantic poet William Wordsworth uses personification when he says the daffodil flowers are like a "company" of friends that he feels he is spending time with.

4. The Romantic artistic movement placed great value on the experience of the world as a valid, meaningful point-of-view which to record in artistic works.

5. "When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them.." is an example of the anaphora technique from Walt Whitman's poem "When I Heard The Learn'd Astronomer Speak".

This is true because the anaphora technique involves the use of repetition of a particular phrase or word in a sentence in other to point the author's viewpoint.

6. In the metaphor that Edgar Allen Poe creates for his poem "A Dream Within a Dream" the shore stands for life itself and the surf hitting the shore and the grains of sand it is constantly washing away stand for time itself and the way it is constantly "washing" away the days of our lives.

7. When Samuel Taylor Coleridge says that he believes that the poet can see "phantoms of sublimity" that perhaps others don't see when he uses his imagination to look within himself, this is an example of the Romantics emphasis upon the existence and importance of the individual.

8. Walt Whitman carefully crafts the external rhyme in each of the stanzas of his poem "When I Heard The Learn'd Astronomer Speak" to show us that for him it is not the scientific, rational understanding but the natural, direct experience of nature that is "perfect".
