Set 1: Command of Evidence (Advanced)
Explanation
PASSAGE
In *To the Lighthouse*, Virginia Woolf uses a stream-of-consciousness technique. Instead of linear plot, the narrative shifts fluidly between the inner thoughts of Mrs. Ramsay, Mr. Ramsay, and Lily Briscoe. This structure suggests that reality is not an objective sequence of events, but a subjective mosaic of perceptions.
Which choice best describes the function of Woolf's narrative technique as discussed in the text?
Detailed Explanation
This question requires you to identify evidence that supports a claim. The text says the fluid structure suggests reality is a 'subjective mosaic of perceptions' rather than an 'objective sequence'. This mirrors subjective human experience. The best evidence directly and explicitly supports the stated claim without requiring assumptions. Match specific textual details or data points to the claim being made. The correct answer provides clear, direct support. Strong evidence directly addresses the claim without requiring additional interpretation. When evaluating options, look for quotes or data that explicitly support the statement. Weak evidence may be tangentially related but doesn't provide direct proof.
Key Evidence:
• "shifts fluidly between the inner thoughts"
• "subjective mosaic of perceptions"
Why others are wrong: A (Confusion is not the stated goal.), B (This option is incorrect.), D (While true of the book, the *text provided* focuses on perception of reality.).
