which of the following events from the modernist period led authors to write about social and economic inequality?
the roaring 20s
the american revolution
the great depression
teddy roosevelts re-election

Explanation:

1. Modernist authors rejected traditional literary structures, actively experimenting with narrative styles, form, and perspective to reflect the changing modern world.
2. The Great Depression caused widespread poverty, unemployment, and a stark divide between the wealthy and struggling, prompting modernist authors to address resulting social and economic inequality in their work. The Roaring 20s was marked by economic excess, the American Revolution predates the Modernist Period, and Teddy Roosevelt's re-election focused on trust-busting rather than widespread inequality as a core driver of literary focus.

Answer:

1. True
2. The Great Depression
