Question

Which of these is a characteristic of Modernist writing?

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Realistic mental processes

Explanation:

Modern writing differs from traditional writing because it uses new literary techniques that are often considered risky or unusual. Two of these are the stream of consciousness and interior monologue. These two techniques imply the thoughts and mental processes of characters are presented to illustrate realistic mental processes. Moreover, in the first technique, the author allows the thoughts of a character to flow naturally, and this shows mental processes are often chaotic or non-linear.
