Question Number 5

Two paired texts explore environmental devastation: Text A is a 19th-century Romantic poem and Text B is a 21st-century climate fiction novel. How does comparative analysis account for their differences in tone and imagery?

By linking Text A's elegiac, sublime nature imagery to Industrial Revolution anxieties, while connecting Text B's gritty, apocalyptic imagery to contemporary ecological crises By asserting that Text B plagiarized Text A's atmospheric descriptions because both authors mention weather and trees By dismissing Text A's poetic meter as irrelevant to modern environmental science while praising Text B's factual accuracy By analyzing both texts as identical expressions of human emotion while disregarding their distinct historical contexts

✔ Correct Answer:

By linking Text A's elegiac, sublime nature imagery to Industrial Revolution anxieties, while connecting Text B's gritty, apocalyptic imagery to contemporary ecological crises
