The correct answer is A. Their love is based on both physical and emotional attraction.

Explanation:

The excerpt shows a dialogue between Romeo and Julie; in this, their attraction is evident as they both want to kiss and touch each other, this can be seen in details such as "My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss" or "And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss" that show their physical attraction.

However, there are also references to their emotional attraction as there is a strong emotional connection between them and Romeo compares Julie to a holy shrine "If I profane with my unworthiest hand This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this" which show his strong admiration and love for her. Thus, this excerpt reveals the love between these characters involves emotional and physical attraction (Option A.)

"There is a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suici; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till."

The theme of the above passage is man desires a certain thing in life, and to cherish what one has, rather than let this greed consume you. Transcendentalism believes that one's own selfish desires and longings help to consume them, and thus corrupting them. The individual is independent if only they can overcome these emotions. So, I think that Transcendentalism has to do with this passage because the man so desires a particular thing, and as he states here "no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till." he is saying that no good can come from greed, so that is how this passage relates to Transcendentalism.
