Question

the cartographer wasps and the anarchist bees
which element is a typical feature of contemporary magical realism
a. a bizarre, outlandish setting
b. themes involving traditional ideas of justice, honor, and order
c. a narrator who is indifferent to or unfazed by fantastical elements
d. all of the above

Explanation:

To determine the typical feature of contemporary magical realism:

• Option A: Magical realism often has settings that blend the ordinary with the bizarre, but "bizarre, outlandish" alone isn't the defining typical feature.
• Option B: Themes of traditional justice, honor, and order are not typical of magical realism; it often explores complex, non - traditional themes.
• Option C: A key feature of magical realism is a narrator (or characters) who treat fantastical elements as normal, being indifferent or unfazed by them.
• Option D is incorrect as A and B are not typical features. So the correct option is C.

Answer:

C. a narrator who is indifferent to or unfazed by fantastical elements
