<h2>Answer:</h2>

Feldspar can be used to classify the rock based on <u>composition</u>.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Felsic rocks are the type igneous rocks which contain feldspar and quartz; and they are typically light in color. A rock which is classified as felsic is contains a high content of felsic minerals such as quartz, orthoclase, muscovite, plagioclase, etc.  

The common example of this type of rock is granite. Their chemical composition through the use of Total Alkali Silica determines the name of the felsic rocks. Felsic elements don't have enough magnesium, calcium and iron to form mafic rocks such as pyroxene or olivine.

Answer: The Raven (Edgar Allan Poe’s poem) fits into the Romantic movement

Explanation:

The Raven is an excellent example of Romanticism, particularly of its Dark/Gothic side.

Another characteristic of

Dark Romanticism also presents many eerie symbols such as Poe´s raven itself. Furthermore, guilt and sin, usual feelings in Dark Romantic novels´ characters, are those of the narrator, who ends up driving himself crazy.
