Which best explains how Faulkner uses a Modernist technique in this passage? A. He captures the imperfect, disorganized way that Anse thinks and feels. B. He uses fragmentation, leaving large gaps in the narrative that the reader must make guesses about. C. He depicts Anse as lacking faith and rejecting religion and traditional beliefs. D. He uses repetition to represent Anse's exhaustion with routine.

The answer is A: He captures the imperfect, disorganized way that Anse thinks and feels.

Explanation for each option:

A. He captures the imperfect, disorganized way that Anse thinks and feels. - This is the correct answer. Modernist literature often focuses on the inner thoughts and feelings of characters, presenting them in a stream-of-consciousness style. In this passage, Faulkner uses this technique to reflect Anse's disorganized and imperfect thought process, which is characteristic of Modernist writing.

B. He uses fragmentation, leaving large gaps in the narrative that the reader must make guesses about. - While fragmentation is a Modernist technique, this particular passage does not exemplify it. The passage is more about Anse's internal monologue rather than leaving narrative gaps for the reader to fill.

C. He depicts Anse as lacking faith and rejecting religion and traditional beliefs. - This option does not accurately describe the Modernist technique used in the passage. The focus is more on Anse's personal grievances and thought process rather than a commentary on faith or traditional beliefs.

D. He uses repetition to represent Anse's exhaustion with routine. - Although repetition is present, it is not the primary Modernist technique being highlighted in this passage. The emphasis is on the disorganized and imperfect nature of Anse's thoughts, which aligns more closely with option A.
