question 3 of 10
which aspect of faulkner’s storytelling in as i lay dying most makes it a modernist piece of literature?
a. the story is told by an unbiased character.
b. the story is told by a character who is dead.
c. the story is told by an unreliable narrator.
d. the story is told by many narrators.

Explanation:

In "As I Lay Dying", Faulkner uses multiple narrators (family members, etc.) to tell the story, which is a key Modernist technique. Option A is incorrect as characters have biases. Option B: while a dead character (Addie) narrates, the multiple - narrator structure is more defining of its Modernist nature. Option C: unreliable narration is present but not the most defining aspect of its Modernist storytelling compared to multiple narrators. So the aspect that most makes it a Modernist piece is the use of many narrators.

Answer:

D. The story is told by many narrators.
