What type of poetry does most of William Wordsworth’s work embody?

Satire
Odes
Romanticism
Limericks

The correct answer is: Romanticism

William Wordsworth is known to be a poet of the Romantic era, which emphasized strong emotion, individualism, and a connection with nature. His poetry often revolves around nostalgic memories, appreciation for nature, and a focus on the individual's inner thoughts and feelings. Satire and Limericks do not align with the themes and characteristics of Romanticism, making options A and D incorrect. Odes are a type of lyrical poetry, which can also fall under the Romantic genre, however, not all of Wordsworth's work is in the form of odes, so option B is not the best answer. Therefore, option C, Romanticism, is the most fitting and accurate answer.
