Question

1. select two that apply. which description best characterizes the modern literary movement?

□ emotional, idealistic, or dark
□ a sense of loss
□ juxtaposition of thoughts and images

Explanation:

To determine the correct options for the Modern literary movement:

1. Analyze "a sense of loss": Modern literature often reflects the disillusionment and loss of traditional values after World War I, so this applies.
2. Analyze "juxtaposition of thoughts and images": Modernist literature, especially in works like those of T.S. Eliot, uses techniques like stream - of - consciousness and juxtaposition of fragmented thoughts and images.
3. "emotional, idealistic, or dark": Modern literature is more about fragmentation, disillusionment, and often has a darker tone but "idealistic" is not a main characteristic of Modern literature (it's more associated with earlier romantic or Victorian ideals), so this is less likely.

So the two correct options are "a sense of loss" and "juxtaposition of thoughts and images".

Answer:

• a sense of loss
• juxtaposition of thoughts and images
