Read this passage from "Preludes" by T. S. Eliot. Based on what you have learned about literary movements, which movement does this poem's form and elements fit best? The winter evening settles down With smell of steaks in passageways. Six o'clock. The burnt-out ends of smoky days. And now a gusty shower wraps The grimy scraps Of withered leaves about your feet And newspapers from vacant lots; The showers beat On broken blinds and chimney-pots, And at the corner of the street A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps. And then the lighting of the lamps. A) Realism B) Romanticism C) Modernism D) Classicism
