Question must be answered based on the following passage.


Then summer came. A summer limp with the weight of blossomed things. Heavy sunflowers weeping over fences; iris curling and browning at the edges far away from their purple hearts; ears of corn letting their auburn hair wind down to their stalks.


Adapted from: MORRISON, Toni. Sula. Alfred A. Knopf, 1973. 


In the passage above, Toni Morrison constructs meaning through complex lexical and grammatical choices characterized by

  • the use of attributive adjectives combined with simple determiners, exemplifying the primacy of nominal modification in literary style, privileging static description over grammatical processes.
  • the predominance of present participial adjectives, sustaining an ongoing aspect that blurs the boundary between description and process, reinforcing a perception of vitality in the inanimate.
  • the organization of clauses through asyndetic coordination, marked by semicolons, projects fragmentation and disjunction, indicating a syntactic structure more characteristic of expository prose than of poetic discourse.
  • the recurrence of lexical metaphors interpreted primarily as lexicalized idioms rather than active metaphoric processes, pointing to conventional usage instead of stylistic innovation.
  • the grammatical choice of zero articles before plural nouns, reflecting a non-specific reference, more characteristic of scientific register than the literary register, highlighting objectivity in categorization.
