Question

Read the excerpt from chapter 11 of The Awakening.

Answer 1

Answer: B) The conversation imitates conversations in real life.

Explanation: In literature, realism is a movement that started in France in the nineteenth century, and the authors of the movement tried to represent the everyday-situations as they were (like relationships, or familie issues), without making them more beautiful or using fantastic elements. In this case, the excerpt is an example of realism because it imitates a real conversation between a married couple.
