I believe the correct answer is the emphasis on the
individual choice.
The trait typical of the Romantic era is featured in
Washington Irving’s short story "The Devil and Tom Walker" is
individual choice. In Romantic era, man is in the center of world, he is a free
being with the free choice. This short story is about Tom Walker who sells his
soul to the devil in order to get the buried treasure and he and his wife hoard
things from each other, things that should belong to both of them and be shared
by both of them. This story is regarded as a Faustian tale, the tale of
characters showing their greed and selfishness.
Possibly, the word needed to fill the blank and complete the
sentence would be ‘overall’, which means the ‘added’ or the ‘totaled’ let’s say
score of a certain aspect. The sentence would be:
The overall combined score moved the competitor to the top of
the scoreboard.
The sentence means that the competitor or candidate, possibly
in a contest of example, sports have different scores and when added, the total
score put the person (the competitor) atop everyone else during the
competition.
