C. might be the correct answer.
The word or phrase that best describes the political and religious atmosphere of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries is "tumultuous" (D). During this period, the church was in a crisis. It was losing power and the European peasants were rising up against the way they were being treated by the church and the noblemen. The Reformation also moved the centre of power from the Roman Catholic Church to the German Lutheran church. Martin Luther was one of the leaders of the Reformation.
Answer:
<h3> D. helps us see the scene as autumnal.</h3>
Explanation:
- In the poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost, the poet opens his poem with the line 'Two roads diverged in a yellow wood'. It helps the readers to understand that the poet stands at a crossroad where two roads diverge to two different paths.
- The poet illustrates the wood as 'yellow' to signify that the leaves of the trees are worn out and almost on the verge of falling down. It helps us to see the scene as autumnal.
