question 13 of 20
which theme best reflects the ideals of modernist writers?

a. nothing good lasts forever.

b. hard work leads to success.

c. love conquers all.

d. nature is beautiful.

Explanation:

Modernist literature often reflects disillusionment, fragmentation, and the idea that traditional ideals (like permanent good, guaranteed success from hard work, universal power of love, or uncomplicated beauty of nature) are flawed. Themes of impermanence and the breakdown of traditional beliefs align with "Nothing good lasts forever," while the other options (B - D) represent more traditional, optimistic, or romanticized ideals inconsistent with Modernist ideals.

Answer:

A. Nothing good lasts forever.
