The correct answer is "In this selection, the use of the word <em>inundation</em> is probably exaggerated."


In this situation, inundation is not a real inundation/flood, therefore it is not literal. It is a word used to exaggerate the fact that the housewives are constantly cleaning the house, sweeping and mopping. You can see that too in the excerpt <em>"under the discipline of mops and brooms". </em>We know the author is referring to the cleaning process and therefore, chooses to use the word <em>inundation</em> to create more depth to what he's describing.

Writers of the romantic period were concerned with ______________?
balandron [24]
Writers of the Romantic period were concerned with C. describing the beauty of nature and how individuals interact with it.
It is wrong to assume that Romanticism has anything to do with love and romantic feelings only based on the name of this era. As a matter of fact, nature and individualism were far more important motifs than love.
