Question 5 • [ELA11] ELA 11, Sem 1 (26-27)

Which features of the passage help you identify the narrative style as stream of consciousness?

Answer
A
unusual, meandering syntax and revelations about the speaker’s thoughts and feelings
B
rhetorical questions and descriptions of the speaker’s physical appearance
C
vivid imagery, precise diction, and well-organized thoughts
D
a preoccupation with modernism and an emphasis on concrete details

Explanation

Stream of consciousness presents a character’s thoughts and feelings as they unfold, often in a loose, wandering flow. Unusual, meandering syntax can imitate that flow, while revelations about the speaker’s inner life show the reader what they are thinking and feeling. The correct choice is “unusual, meandering syntax and revelations about the speaker’s thoughts and feelings.”
