Which one of the following ███ ████ ██████████ ██ ████████ ████ ███ ███████ █████ █████ ████████ ████████ ███ ██ ██████ ██████████ ████ █████ █████ █████████
a
The use of ██████ ██████████ ████ █████ █████ ████████ ██ ██ ███████ ██ █████ ████████ █████ ██ ██████ █ ████████ █████
Not supported, because the reason Latin American poets are interested in other cultures is that they don’t have a long-standing cultural past. This doesn’t imply that the poets attempt to “create” a past.
b
The use of ██████ ██████████ ████ █████ █████ ████████ ██ █████ ████████ █████ ██ █ ████████ ██ █████ ████ ██ █ █████████████ ████████████████ ████████ ████ ██ ███ █████████

We’re never told that Latin American poets “reconsider” their lack of a long-standing cultural past. We know that they are more curious about other cultures because of the lack of such cultural past, but this doesn’t imply any “reconsideration.”
d

Not supported. Although the author mentions that some Latin American poets write about a world before recorded history, she never indicates that these poets don’t use structures from other cultures.
e

Not supported. We’re never told that there are certain cultures from which Latin American poetry does not borrow poetic structures.
