question 7 of 20
which phrase best describes a quality of postmodernism?

a. blurring fact and fiction to find an underlying truth

b. focusing on the disturbing personal lives of couples

c. ensuring that the main characters end up happy

d. telling a story that ultimately ends in a tragedy

Explanation:

Postmodernism often challenges traditional distinctions between fact and fiction, rejecting the idea of a single "objective truth" and instead exploring how narratives blend real and imagined elements to question or reveal layered meanings. The other options describe themes not central to postmodernism: B focuses on domestic drama, C on happy endings (not a postmodern trait), and D on tragedy (a classical/modernist element).

Answer:

A. Blurring fact and fiction to find an underlying truth
