NEOCLASSICISM is also known as the age of reason since everything had to be explained by means of reason. Neoclassical artists held ideas such as the child was born savage and had to be educated. For them, order and harmony were essential since they worked for social order. A good example of this movement in literature is “Essay on Man” by Alexander Pope. This literary work can be considered a philosophical poem since it transmits messages such as “do not concentrate on God, concentrate on you”, “the answers are inside of you”, “successful man is in the middle, avoid extremes”, etc.
ROMANTICISM emerged as a reaction against Neoclassicism. Romantic artists held the idea that the child was born innocent and wise. They went for imagination and emotions, as well as for the freedom of speech. One of the main exponents of Romanticism was William Wordsworth whose work “Preface” to the Lyrical Ballads is considered “a romantic manifesto” since in it he defined the poetry and the poet.
As regards poetry, he said that it should try common day life and should use everyday language. He wanted to do away with poetic language such as personification, metaphors, metonymy, etc. He defined poetry as the “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings”.
As regards the poet, Wordsworth claimed that the poet was “a man talking to himself” and “a translator of emotions”, since he had to be able to put emotions into words”.
When we read the poem with rhythm, we can better appreciate its rhymes and structure, and the beauty of the story also seems to be enhanced, as explained below.
<h3>What is rhythm?</h3>
In poetry, we can think of rhythm just like we do when it comes to music. The number of syllables in each line as well as the rhymes allow us to read the poem with a certain pace, a cadence. That pace is rhythm.
When we read “The Song of Wandering Aengus” without paying attention to rhythm, we can still understand what the poem is about. However, much of its beauty is lost.
When we pay attention to rhythm while reading the poem, we can better appreciate its structure and rhymes. The beauty is enhanced as we "sing" the poem, reading each line in the pace the poet intended them to be read.

Answer:
The answer is A.
Explanation:
Gerund and present participle are -ING modifiers. They are verbals which means that although look like verbs, they have the function of another part of speech. In a sentence, they are modifiers because they give us closer information about the main word. However, when we use them, we need to avoid misplaced modifiers.
Answer B, although grammatically correct, has completely illogical meaning due to the word <em>pulling</em> modifying the wrong word. In this case, it looks as though the word <em>pulling</em> refers to fast-food order and not <em>Carmen</em> which is of course semantically impossible.
