Since there are no choices, the way I would correct this sentence would be:

You shouldn't pat a strange dog; sometimes they're not friendly.

I would replace the comma with a semi colon to make more sense.

The correct answer would be:

You shouldn't pat a strange dog; sometimes they're not friendly.

The semicolon or semi-colon is a punctuation mark used in the following three cases:

In lists that have internal commas, to make it easier to read. For example y favorite store is having a huge sale; you can buy pants, shirts, and shoes for half price.

Between two independent clauses, particularly with clauses that are complex, have commas and don't have a coordinating conjunction. For example, You shouldn't pat a strange dog; sometimes they're not friendly.

When a comma replaces a full stop in a quotation. For example, "Is this your child?" he asked; "I found him outside".

ankoles [38]

Answer:

(C) Belief in the power of the individual is one of the conventions of Romanticism.

Explanation:

Romanticism’s one convention is the belief in the power of an individual. This concept of individualism has always fascinated the romantics. They believed that human beings are always in a constant search of their self and only come to a conclusion when they find the identity of their true self.

Famous romantics like Rousseau often commented on this concept classifying it as “antinomy”. Also Keats’ poems have a lot of content on individuality which proves that famous romantics believed individualism as an important convention of romanticism.
