Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C. A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III

Explanation

Auden's 'September 1, 1939' speaks of the 'low dishonest decade'; Dylan Thomas's bardic, oral music is rooted in Welsh tradition; Betjeman is the nostalgic, middle-brow laureate of suburbia; Larkin writes both with and against the Romantic inheritance (e.g. 'Here', 'High Windows').
