The author claims in P2 that Spanish poetry was reluctant to adopt innovative and challenging ways of using language. The author also claims that Spanish poetry displayed “cultural conservatism.” Let’s look for an answer that undermines one of these claims.
This tells us that Spanish had a greater impact on Latin American poets than we had previously thought. But this doesn’t relate to whether Spanish poetry was actually more experimental than previously thought or whether Spanish poetry was less rooted in its own traditions and past than previously thought.
This tells us that Castilian Spanish was still changing at the time Latin American poetry began. But this doesn’t relate to whether Spanish poetry was actually more experimental than previously thought or whether Spanish poetry was less rooted in its own traditions and past than previously thought.
This weakens the author’s claim that Spanish poetry was reluctant to adopt innovative and challenging approaches to the use of language. If Spanish poets started a movement that used language in radical ways, this is evidence that Spanish poetry is actually more accepting of innovative and radical uses of language than the author thinks.
This doesn’t relate to whether Spanish poetry was actually more experimental than previously thought or whether Spanish poetry was less rooted in its own traditions and past than previously thought.
If anything, this supports the author’s claim that Spanish poetry was reluctant to adopt radical and innovative uses of language.
