The following passage (paragraph 3) mainly adds to the development of the text by When Romantic ideals reached America in the early nineteenth century, the nation was caught up in a massive westward expansion and was
simultaneously trying to define what it was to be American, both to itself and to the world. As American cities and towns grew, people had more
time for philosophical and creative endeavors and began to write original works of fiction and poetry, as well as contemplative essays.

A describing the conditions under which Romanticism gained popularity in America
B. showing that Romanticism resulted in happier and more creative individuals
C. claiming that the Romantic movement inspired exploration and colonial expansion in America
D. defining the basic concepts and beliefs held by Romantic artists

The idea this paragraph conveys is that the colonies literature was simple compared to England's literature

In this paragraph, the author compares the literary tradition in England and the literary tradition in the colonies. About this, the main points are:

By the time of the colonization, England had a complex and advanced literary tradition

In the colonies, writers focused on observations rather than on creative or fictional writing

From this, it can be inferred the literature in the colonies was not as complex and advanced as the one in England, and therefore, this literature was simple.

Explanation:

a, b, and c are all correct.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
