Question

how does realism differ from romanticism?

○ unlike romanticism, realism places little value on accuracy.

○ unlike romanticism, realism ignores the industrial revolution.

○ unlike romanticism, realism does not emphasize human emotions.

○ unlike romanticism, realism focuses on extraordinary people and events.

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• Option 1: Realism values accuracy (depicting real - life accurately), so this is wrong.
• Option 2: Realism often reflects the impacts of the Industrial Revolution, so this is wrong.
• Option 3: Romanticism emphasizes strong human emotions (like passion, awe), while realism focuses more on objective, everyday life and downplays excessive emotional emphasis. This is correct.
• Option 4: Realism focuses on ordinary people and events, while Romanticism is more drawn to the extraordinary (like heroic figures, supernatural events). So this is wrong.

Answer:

C. Unlike Romanticism, realism does not emphasize human emotions. (Here we assume the options are labeled A, B, C, D in order, so the correct option is the third one which we label as C for clarity)
