read the question carefully and select the best answer.

which of these statements is most strongly supported by the section entitled
\breaking boundaries\ (paragraphs 5–7)?

a. living in other countries inspired modernists to try new techniques.

b. modernists hoped to capture human experience by using direct language and
traditional forms.

c. extremely long, dense novels became popular at the height of modernism.

d. literary innovation was at the heart of the modernist movement.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option against what the "Breaking Boundaries" section (about Modernism) would likely convey:

• Option A: There’s no indication the section links living abroad to new techniques. Eliminate.
• Option B: Modernism is known for rejecting traditional forms, not using them. Eliminate.
• Option C: Modernist literature often experimented with form (e.g., stream of consciousness), not “extremely long, dense novels” as a defining trend. Eliminate.
• Option D: Modernism emphasized literary innovation (new techniques, forms, perspectives) to capture modern experience. This aligns with the movement’s core.

Answer:

D. Literary innovation was at the heart of the Modernist movement.
