Which is the best definition of the term “magic realism”? a narrative genre of literature that takes ordinary events and makes them seem extraordinary to the reader
a narrative genre closely linked to nineteenth-century writers throughout the Americas and Europe
a narrative genre that can be traced to the history of European colonialism throughout the world
a narrative genre characterized by its use of fantastic or mythic elements in otherwise realistic fiction

answer d

explanation:

the correct answer is b. in order to explain a point clearly in an essay, it is always better to include a clear example of your ideas. including an scenario in which a family is affected by consumerism will support your argument as well as supporting details, such as quotations from experts and statistics. option a could be correct, but statistics and quotations are supporting ideas rather than clear explanations. choices c and d are simply inadequate. they do not add information about the effects of consumerism, rather they are strategies for engaging the reader
