David Foster Wallace’s Postmodern Voices

Question 12 • AFC TSIA2-English Language Arts S2

I believe I appear neutral, maybe even pleasant, though I’ve been coached to err on the side of neutrality and not attempt what would feel to me like a pleasant expression or smile.

Answer
t
the abandonment of techniques of realism
a
an acknowledgement that the text is made up
t
the inclusion of a subjective truth
a
a fragmentation of the thought process

Explanation

The speaker describes their own impression of how they appear: “I believe” they look neutral or pleasant, while also acknowledging that their coaching may shape that impression. This presents a personal, subjective perspective rather than an objective fact, so the best choice is “an inclusion of a subjective truth.”
