question 3 of 10
read the following theme:
the modern world is isolating.
which event from \the love song of j. alfred prufrock\ best shows this theme?
a. prufrock despises modern art.
b. prufrock tires of superficial, meaningless conversation.
c. prufrock worries about his baldness and age.
d. prufrock strolls through a deserted city.

Explanation:

Superficial, unfulfilling interactions are a core marker of modern social isolation; Prufrock's weariness with these empty conversations directly reflects the theme of modern life being isolating, as it shows he cannot connect meaningfully with others around him. The other options either focus on personal insecurities (C), distaste for art (A), or a physical empty space (D) which is less tied to the social/relational isolation central to the theme.

Answer:

B. Prufrock tires of superficial, meaningless conversation.
