Question

Which statement was a common theme in works of Regionalism?

Answer 1

Answer:

C. The United States consists of many diverse and intriguing local cultures.

Explanation:

Regionalism is a style or genre of writing which is similar to realism and refuses the works and ways of romanticism. It focuses instead on the local color, the setting, people, diversity, reality, the customs and dialects of a particular region, especially rural areas.

Focusing on the local style, this form of writing depicts the reality rather than work around it. It presents the true picture of the rural locality, its customs, and dialects, the landscape, and topography of that particular place which would normally be never thought of. This interest in a particular and rural setting paved a way for the writers to bring the true diversity and reality of the American nation. And a common theme was the representation of the many diverse and intriguing local cultures in the US.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
