D. Romanticism.

Explanation:

The writers of the Romantic Era truly valued nature and how positively it could   change a man's mindset. Poets valued rhyme in every other line, so there was also a structural concern, which was all part of the beauty of their art. Plus, they would alternate between nine and six syllables (again, part of the aesthetic beauty of those days). In Goethe's "The Sorrows of Young Werther", the main character in the beginning of the book moves from a big city to the country, and he describes the local nature very enthusiastically in his diary in the beginning of the book. In fact, he sees it as what he needs to be serene and at peace.

answer: d.she abandons people when they least expect it.

in the monk's tale, we encounter seventeen stories that relate historical events. all of these stories have tragic commonalities. they tell the stories of heroes who, despite their success in life, all met sad ends. the monk blames these sad outcomes on fortune. one of fortune's traits is that she abandons people when they least expect it. this is one of the most common themes of medieval tragedies.

the answer is both an appeal to ethos and logos (if that's what your question options were)
