Question Type
Implied
It’s difficult to predict the correct answer just from the question stem. But we can tell that the correct answer is likely to be supported by the last paragraph, which describes Latin American poetry’s use of structures from other cultures.
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 ██████ ██████████ ████ █████ █████ ████████ ██ █████ ████████ █████ ██ █ ████████ ██ █████ ████ ██ █ █████████████ ████████████████ ████████ ████ ██ ███ █████████
Supported. Because Latin-American poetry doesn’t have a long-standing cultural past, they are more curious about the poetic structures of other cultures.
c
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
Latin American poets ███ █████ █████ █ █████ ██████ ████████ ███████ ██ ███ ███ ██████ ██████████ ████ █████ █████ █████████
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
Latin American poetry ████ ███ ██████ ██████ ██████████ ████ █████ █████ ████████ █████ ██████████ ████████ ████████ █████████████
Not supported. We’re never told that there are certain cultures from which Latin American poetry does not borrow poetic structures.
