To match the letters with the numbers, you need to have knowledge about the different literary movements and the works associated with them. Let me explain each one briefly, and then we can match them with the given numbers.

A. Early American and Colonial Literature: This refers to literature written during the early years of American colonization and includes works such as sermons, historical accounts, and narratives influenced by religious and puritanical beliefs.

B. American Romanticism: This literary movement emerged in the 19th century and was characterized by an emphasis on individualism, nature, imagination, and the supernatural.

C. Transcendentalism: Transcendentalism was a philosophical and literary movement in the 19th century that focused on the belief in the inherent goodness of people and nature, as well as the power of intuition and individual conscience.

D. Realism: Realism is a literary movement that emerged in the late 19th century, emphasizing the depiction of ordinary life and social realities without idealization or exaggeration.

E. Regionalism: Regionalism refers to literature that focuses on and depicts particular regions, communities, or landscapes, highlighting their unique characteristics and culture.

Now let's match the letters with the given numbers:

10. Phillis Wheatley's Poetry: Phillis Wheatley was an African-American poet who lived during the colonial period. Her poetry falls under the category of Early American and Colonial Literature, so the correct match would be A.

11. Mark Twain's "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County": Mark Twain is associated with American Realism, as his works often depicted the realities of life and social issues. Therefore, the correct match would be D.

12. Walt Whitman's poetry: Walt Whitman is well-known for his poetry collection "Leaves of Grass," which represents American Romanticism and celebrates individualism, nature, and the human spirit. Hence, the correct match would be B.

13. Henry David Thoreau's Walden: Walden is a transcendentalist work where Thoreau reflects on his experience living in nature and the need for simplicity and self-reliance. So, the correct match would be C.

14. Trickster tales and creation stories: Trickster tales and creation stories often involve depicting specific cultures and traditions, making them examples of Regionalism. Thus, the correct match would be E.

In summary:
10. A
11. D
12. B
13. C
14. E

E is 14 (whether you're referring to Judeo-Christian, Egyptian, Greek, Navajo, Mayan, or any other cultural/religious group).
