Answer 1

Hi. You did not present the answer options which makes it impossible for this question to be answered. However, I will try to help you as best I can.

The stream of consciousness refers to a literary technique where the narrator presents the thought process of a character being disrupted by personal and random impressions, before reaching a conclusion. This technique seeks to represent the thought process as it occurs in reality, out of linearity and with other momentary and random thoughts taking the lead.

In this case, to answer this question, you need to read your answer options and identify those that present this type of narration.
