Answer 1

Answer:

E. A and C are correct.

Explanation:

The Romantic movement was a literary movement that focuses on the relationship of man and nature, the importance of imagination, and naturalistic and realistic elements of human nature. It also believed in the detrimental nature of science and how it acts against the very nature of imagination.

Mary Shelley's gothic novel "Frankenstein" revolves around science and how its use affects everyone. The creature became a monster that will be the downfall of not only his creator but everyone associated with him. In his need to try to be human, he was pushed to become the monster that everyone loathed. So, Mary Shelley, through her book, believed that science is purely evil and how imagination is necessary.

Thus, the correct answer is option E.
