Answer 1

Answer: D. She purposefully chooses words which sound neutral to convey the idea of uniformity in suburban life.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is based on the poem: The City Planners by Margaret Atwood.

Here she talks about a suburban neighborhood and how quiet it is.

She uses words such as sanities, levelness and rational to show how bland and uniform suburban life is and how both the houses and the people living in them live without neighborhood excitement.
