question 18 of 45
lost generation writers who wrote about world war i differed from earlier authors in that they:
a. abandoned rationality in order to depict surreal situations.
b. did not describe war as heroic or glorious for soldiers.
c. promoted revolutionary economic and political agendas.
d. worked to build popular support for their governments.

Explanation:

Lost Generation writers were disillusioned by World War I. Earlier authors often romanticized war, presenting it as heroic. Lost Generation writers, in contrast, showed the harsh, brutal, and non - heroic aspects of war.

• Option A: Surrealism is a different literary/artistic movement. Lost Generation writers focused more on the real - life disillusionment of war rather than surreal situations.
• Option C: There is no general trend of Lost Generation writers promoting revolutionary economic and political agendas. Their focus was more on the personal and cultural impact of the war.
• Option D: They were often critical of the institutions (including governments) that led to the war, not building support for them.

Answer:

B. did not describe war as heroic or glorious for soldiers.
