Robert knew the girl, and he talked to her a little in the boat. No one present understood what they said. Her name was Mariequi
ta. She had a round, sly, piquant face and pretty black eyes. Her hands were small, and she kept them folded over the handle of her basket. Her feet were broad and coarse. She did not strive to hide them. Edna looked at her feet, and noticed the sand and slime between her brown toes. Which best explains why the excerpt is an example of realism? (a)-Characters are simplified and play a secondary role to a fast-paced plot with lots of action.
(b)-The ways in which characters interact depicts an optimistic outlook on the human condition.
(c)-The ways in which characters from different social classes perceive and treat each other are addressed.
(d)-Characters are described with the use of powerful language that helps the reader visualize the scene.
C) The ways in which characters from different social classes perceive and treat each other are addressed.
Explanation:
Realism addresses real-life situations without over dramatizing the plot and scenes. A realist approach in writing will address topics without depicting happy or unrealistic outlooks. In this excerpt, the readers notice how the writer gives details about the poor girl and how Edna observes the differences between them as she looks at her feet and "notices the sand and slime between her brown toes."
The meaning of the word Inevitable is like something certain was about to happen or something unavoidable, Like " Jasmine knew the end of summer was unavoidable and school would start too soon again" or " Jasmine knew the end of summer was assure and school would start again too soon" either way. I hope this helps !
