Question

which details from \chicago\ by carl sandburg reflect characteristics of modernism? select the two correct answers. sandburg captures the essence of city life through the diverse images of chicago’s residents. the poem challenges rules about point of view, rhyme scheme, and meter. the poem explores the disconnect that people who live in cities feel toward nature. sandburg romanticizes chicago with the line \come and show me another city with lifted head singing so proud.\

Explanation:

Modernist literature often rejects traditional poetic structures (like formal rhyme and meter) and focuses on the raw, diverse experiences of urban life.

1. Capturing diverse city resident images aligns with modernism's focus on urban, everyday life.
2. Challenging traditional poetic rules (point of view, rhyme, meter) is a core modernist trait.
3. Exploring disconnection from nature is not a defining modernist focus here, and romanticizing the city contradicts modernism's rejection of idealized, romantic depictions.

Answer:

• Sandburg captures the essence of city life through the diverse images of Chicago’s residents.
• The poem challenges rules about point of view, rhyme scheme, and meter.
