Read the following excerpt from the "the love song of j. alfred prufrock" by t. s. eliot:

shall i say, i have gone at dusk through narrow streets and watched the smoke that rises from the pipes of lonely men in shirt-sleeves, leaning out of windows? . .

i should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across the floors of silent seas. what aspect of this excerpt most clearly marks it as a work of modernism?

a. it is written so that one idea continues from one line to the next.

b. it reflects the idea of pretending to be what one is not to fit in.

c. it conveys the idea of isolation from modern life.

d. it supports the idea of the superficiality of urban life

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.

(i can't select because there is no options but, i will answer) using evidence effectively. most of the assignments you will do in university will ask you to make an argument, to take a stance, or to prove a hypothesis. the best way to do this is to research the topic, develop a thesis statement, hypothesis, or claim and then use evidence to support this claim.

i'm sorry faith, i dont know how to you on this if you have any other questions hmu okay?
