Question

A) Everyday Life and Common Subjects
B) Tragedy and Extreme Circumstances
C) Unusual and Terrifying Themes
D) Adventurous and Fantastical Episodes

Answer 1

The correct answer is A) Everyday Life and Common Subjects

The realist era was a period of time in the 19th century where the writers wanted to depict everyday common life without many extreme situations or anything adventurous or unusual. They wrote like this because they wanted to present real life and common problems in real life and to help people understand what is bad about the way their lives were being governed.
