Which of the following was an important element of romantic literature?

rationalism and well-reasoned ideas

an emphasis on society

personal and spiritual exploration

organized religious movements

The correct answer is C. Romantics believe in the importance of the individual; therefore, personal and spiritual exploration is an important element of their literature. Romantics rejected rationalism, the importance of society, and organized religion, so these would not be correct options. Instead, Romantics valued the individual and his or her experience above all.
