Since an absolute phrase modifies a noun, and is separated from the rest of the sentence using a comma usually, with no conjunctions, the only correct answer here is the first one. Because there is a comma, there is no conjunction like in the third sentence, so it has to be correct.

Answer:

D.  A remembered landscape

Explanation:

William Wordsworth (1770-1850) is one of the greatest romantic poets of the romantic age. He wrote "Tintern Abbey" in 1798 a few miles above the abbey as the full title of the poem <em>"</em><em>Lines Written (or Composed) a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey, on Revisiting the Banks of the Wye during a Tour, July 13, 1798".</em> Wordsworth had previously visited Tintern Abbey in 1793 as a troubled and directionless young man of 23.

In these lines he mentions those five years as a long absence from these beauteous form (abbey landscape). He was not seeing that landscape when writing the poem but contemplating the scenery seen five years ago. According to Wordsworth poetic theory, the poetry is best when its is written by observation, contemplation, and emotions recollected through tranquility.

Wordsworth ideally wants to write about natural scenery long after he has seen and observed it. According to him, this practice removes all the minor and less important things from memory, and only the best of the observations find an expression in the form of words.

Which two sentences in this excerpt from F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams" seem to foreshadow Dexter’s future obsession with
irina1246 [14]

The two sentences that seem to foreshadow Dexter’s future obsession with “possessing” Judy Jones are "He wanted not association with glittering things and glittering people—he wanted the glittering things themselves" and "Often he reached out for the best without knowing why he wanted it—and sometimes he ran up against the mysterious denials and prohibitions in which life indulges".

In "Winter Dreams" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Dexter, who is the main character of the story, believes that Judy is the ideal woman. Although she is selfish, he pursues Judy because he has an idealistic view of her; in other words, he does not conceive her as a flawed human being. However, this idealistic view is shattered when she becomes a housewife.

This two sentences seem to foreshadow Dexter's obsession  because the phrase<u> "glittering things" could refer to Judy,</u> whom Dexter sees as radiant. Moreover, the second sentence, which implies that Dexter wanted things without knowing why, is connected to the fact that <u>he never loved Judy for who she was since he was always in love with an ideal of womanhood. </u>
