Answer:
c. it creates dramatic tension
Explanation:
The characters thought and the words he is speaking are totally different, so the reader can sense that there is tension.
Even though option D is also related to Modernism and could be related to the excerpt, option C seems to be the correct one: It conveys the idea of isolation from modern life.
Modernist were called "the lost generation" because of their search for meaning among the fragments of modern life. In the excerpt, the words "lonely men" seem to address the theme of isolation and alienation in society. While everyone seems to have a role to perform in modern life, that does not mean they have found their true identity. Some sort of value seems to have been lost and, with it, men lost themselves. Modernism is characterized by the search of such value.
The literary term would be an oxymoron. Oxymorons are “a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction (e.g. faith unfaithful kept him falsely true ).”
Hey there!
The corrected sentence would look like: Holly’s birthday is the same day as mine in December.
Hope this helps!
