A. Purposelessness.

Explanation:

The genre of literary writing that emerged from after the Second World War, in which a group of absurdist writers began to write about the absurdity of human situation. Primarily beginning among the European and American dramatists, these drama writers seem to agree with Albert Camus' "The Myth of Sisyphus", which mostly stressed about the uselessness of human life.

Famous writes of this genre include Samuel Beckett (Waiting for Godot), Eugene Ionesco (Rhino), Jean Genet (The Balcony) etc. All of these plays for the "Theatre of the Absurd" genre deals or lays emphasis on the purposelessness of a man's life and life in general. The major elements that are deployed or used in this type of genre are the anti-character, anti- plot etc, while all trying to present a serious issue in a comic tone. This theatrical movement was unusual, quite different from the regular "normal" forms of stories or plays ion it's depiction of what life is really like- a purposeless, useless, meaningless world.

can you copy and paste what selections you read? the answer is based off of that.

i think the correct answer would be adjustments in life roles.  this causes for one to adjust or change totally his/her career or lifestyle since the present is not beneficial to the life role he is at. for instance, you became a mother you would of course stop going to malls and enjoying life outside. you would be staying at home taking care of your child.
