Question

Which of the following is NOT a function of juxtaposition?

suspense
symbolism
mood contrast
character development

Answer 1

- Symbolism is not a function of juxtaposition.

Step-by-step explanation:

The juxtaposition is used to bond two sentences, cases or affirmations that, if don't have more information, could do that the reader misinterpret the situation, this last is the reason why it could generate suspense (when nobody knows what is coming), and mood contrast (presenting two situations with moods totally different), but in the case of the symbolism, is so slightly for mentioning it how a function of this.

Answer 2

The one that is not a function of juxtaposition is the second one: symbolism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Juxtaposition in literature is a technique in which two or more ideas, places, characters, and their actions are placed side by side in a story for the purpose of developing comparisons and contrasts. It presents situations as opposites. Suspense, mood contrast and character development are examples of this technique. On the other hand, symbolism is not; it is a figure of speech where an object, person or situation has a meaning different than its literal meaning and the reader can understand it because of the context. It's function is to create a vivid, poetic image of what he or she is reading.
