question 8 of 10
what is a characteristic of internal monologue in modernist writing?
a. it poses questions to an unseen audience.
b. it organizes a story in reverse order.
c. it mimics the way the human mind works.
d. it uses predictable rhyme and meter.

Explanation:

Internal monologue in Modernist writing aims to represent the flow of a character's thoughts. It doesn't follow a linear, logical structure but rather jumps from one thought to another, mimicking the way the human mind actually works. Option A is more characteristic of a soliloquy (direct address to an audience). Option B is about narrative structure (flashbacks or reverse - order storytelling) rather than internal monologue. Option D is a feature of traditional poetry (not internal monologue in Modernist writing which often breaks away from strict rhyme and meter).

Answer:

C. It mimics the way the human mind works.
