In the postwar era, the text described “three englands” that influenced writers of the time: materialism, the addition of highways, and the effects of the blitz. how did these geographical influences affect the authors at the time? a. authors used their writings to speak out on the changes in society b. writers tried to use the literature as methods of healing for their readers c. authors wrote about their surroundings because that’s all they knew d. both a and b

The correct answer is D.

The postwar area brought about a change that reflected itself in literature. The main goal of many authors was simply to describe and to try to explain to the readers what had happened in the war. It was a way of healing and to coming to terms with the horrendous crimes committed there. Many people did not know what to think of the war apart from thinking that it was all about the Nazis and the dead. The postwar literature concentrated heavily on making sense of it all, and it provided insight into war related matters. It created a kind of common bond for many people because it described their common experiences. It also made people feel less alone and gave them a sense of pride.

At the same time, post war literature concentrated on the changes in the society. The war was over and people had to look forward in life. The addition of highways and the rise of materialism helped many people to cope with post war traumas as it shifted their perspective to a new, brighter future. To forget was the goal of many war victims and they were looking forward to a new type of literature. The writers stressed the importance of the changes in society and again, gave many readers a new purpose, an idea that something better is coming their way.

covert: hidden or secret

candid: truthful and straightforward

what i get from these phrases is covert means undercover or underground and that's where the flower is in april. on the other hand, may is the month where flowers start to bloom and thats the reason why candid is being used as a word to describe the blossoming period of a flower.

hope this answer you.
