Answer 2

The correct answers are B. A rainbow carpet and D. The sweet scent of summer lingering on the wind

Explanation:

Romanticism and therefore romantic poets often focus on the beauty of nature and all the elements in it, besides this, in romanticism elements such as imagination, strong feelings and emotions prevail over reason or industrialization as this movement emerged in opposition to a society based on reasoning and capitalism.

Due to this, in romantic poetry and texts, descriptive details that highlight the beauty of nature are common along with the expression of personal feelings, imagination and aesthetic devices. This can be seen in the case of "A rainbow carpet" that uses imagination to describe flowers and in "The sweet scent of summer lingering on the wind" that highlights the beauty of nature.
