Answer 1

14. The correct answer here is the third option!

This poem by John Keats describes the knights encounter with a fair maiden he met in the fields. After courting her like knights do, with singing, horse riding and such, she invited him to her cave. After they kissed there he fell to sleep and later awoke in the fields alone. The emotional drain this adventure caused him is the reason why he is so pale.

15.Again here the correct answer is the third option.

Again we are dealing with a poem by John Keats, but this time it is about his well regarded ode " Ode to Melancholy". Here he advises the readers how to best deal with melancholy, to think about the beautiful things and how they won't last. Thus residing in the Temple of the Delights is one more important emotion and that is sorrow.

16. Here the third option is yet again correct as stream of consciousness was not a tenant of romanticism.

Stream of consciousness is a technique most associated with the Modernist movement and the term was first coined in the end of the 19th century and attributed to writers like Virginia Wolf and James Joyce who wrote in the 20th century.

17.Here the correct answer is the second option.

This is a bit of a trick question as the whole poem, in general is about, nature and how man's inner state is in close relationship with nature. But these lines in particular are a detour from the musings on nature and are passionate cry about the things man has done to himself. So the correct answer is passionate emotion.

18. Here the correct answer is the first option.

Nature is the source of spiritual nourishment and it is the nature that can help the man transcend his misery and the troubles of the daily life. But the poem ends on a somber note as the nature continues its course the man is still lamenting the fate of the human soul and the pain people inflict on each other.

19. Here the correct answer is the innate goodness and innocence of humanity is the correct answer.

The knight in the beginning of the poem is wandering alone and the mood of the poem at the beginning is very somber which is illustrated by the coming fall.  Once he meets the lady he begins to change as the mood of the poem also. Through his love for her he is rejuvenated. This shows that deep down humans are good and innocent and the love will wake that goodness and innocence in them.

20.Here the third option is correct.

Lamb in the poem of the same name written by William Blake is the symbol of innocence. The poem is also a part of his Songs of Innocence. The Lamb represents the benevolent and innocent nature of God as the child perceives him. So the correct answer is innocence as Blake uses a lot of Christian symbols throughout his poetry.

21. The correct answer here is the third option again, that is the lamb.

I mentioned it before the Lamb represents innocence and purity of God and in contrast in the Tyger Blake looks on what he sees a contradictory nature of God. The Tyger is a part of the Songs of Experience and here Blake is wondering who would even there to create something as terrifying as the Tygar. Could the same being that created the lamb also create this? And why would God do that?Those are the questions Blake asks in this poem.
