Question

question 3 of 5
in faulkner’s speech, what does he say young writers of the day have forgotten about in their writing?
a. ideas about a better future
b. notions of lust
c. conflicts of the heart
d. fears about being blown up

Explanation:

In Faulkner's Nobel Prize acceptance speech, he critiques young writers of his day for being preoccupied with universal fears (like fear of being blown up) and forgetting about the "old verities and truths of the heart" and also the idea of a better future. The other options (notions of lust, conflicts of the heart - though conflicts of the heart are part of the verities he says should be included, but the 'forgotten' aspect here is about the idea of a better future; fears about being blown up are the things they focus on instead of the better future and heart conflicts) are incorrect. So the young writers have forgotten about ideas of a better future.

Answer:

A. Ideas about a better future
