I was struggling between B and C becuase I knew she adopted the narritives but wasnt sure if she used them in the mythical sense as the LC did, it took me a min and a half to rly confrim my answer by going back in the text even tho I selected C in under a minute, on test day Im assuming that wont be a smart idea and to just go with my gut and move on?
I chose D because in the final paragraph a comparison is made between the New Women and the Local Colorists: "instead of the crisply plotted short stories that had been the primary genre of the local colorists, the New Women writers experimented with impressionistic methods." Since we know Chopin borrowed the conventions of the LC, I assumed strong plotlines would have been one of those conventions if strong plotlines were their primary genre
So, I think strong plot lines is incorrect because it isn't explicitly stated as a convention of LC and is in many ways in opposition to the style of the New Women writers who favored impressionistic (fluid) methods.
argh i got it right at first and then during my blind review the word "other" tripped me up, i assumed that "other" referred to the new women (as in other = not the local colorists) >={
I don't understand either still. The author says "reporting narrative events as if they were a part of". When I read "a part of" it made me think that detached couldn't be the answer.
The "as if they were a part of" is a reference to the events. It's not saying that the LC reported events as if the LC themselves were part of the the local color. It's saying the LC reported events as if the events were part of the local color. Imagine reading a story about a murder next door to you, or an active serial killer but told in a way that just treated it like a story about the weather or a story about new fashion trends.
We're told that the local colorists observed culture with "scientific detachment." Think about how a scientist observes things -- they're not biased or taking sides. They simply collect data and report their observations. That's the sense in which Chopin had a "detached" narrative stance. She wrote in a way that seemed to be more like just an objective report on the situation.

I have gotten every single question wrong in this section kms
Again what
idk why this was so hard for me
I succumbed to recency bias here. Didn't see any AC relating to an impressionist approach, so got stressed and guessed.
Got the question right in like 10 seconds but I got blind reviewed so I second guessed myself and BR'ed a wrong answer... whoopsie
Got this right on first instinct but took 30 seconds longer to review the passage and make sure the other answers were for sure wrong.

I am still not fully understanding what "detached narrative stance" means? #help
Same Bro. I chose B as my answer.

I guessed and got it right. I'm still not understanding even after the video explanation.
