Q17

Hi,

I was just wondering...
Pssage A uses the word "impressionistic" but Passage B does not, right? But we can infer it is talking about impressionistic characters because they are talking similar traits?

Thank you,

For this type of question we need to find support from both passages.

The correct answer, (E), is supported in
Psg A: 4-8 and 18-20
("the thing not named" is a callback to line 5-6, "not depicting her characters' emotions directly")

Psg B: 33-36, 43, 56, 60
(Cather is a impressionistic narratologist, not a novelist, so she is NOT providing direct psychological characterization)

(A) Unsupported comparison. Neither psg compares HER frequency of stream-of-consciousness to that of her contemporaries.

(B) Half scope. Psg A didn't really get into that topic at all.

(C) Half Scope. Psg A doesn't discuss narratology.

(D) Half Scope / Out of Scope. Psg B doesn't get into "thing not named" directly and we never hear about influence on later novelists.

Hi

I thought line 3-8 supports B...it sounds it's talking about narrative...
By the way what is the inner blaze of glory shine? some kind of metaphor?
