Which themes distinguish literature written in the realist era from earlier literature?
everyday life and common subjects
tragedy and extreme circumstances
unusual and terrifying themes
adventurous and fantastical episode

the theme would be A. . everyday life and common subjects 

Artists and writers during realist era love to create something that represent a certain situation truthfully, without adding any false/extreme narrative to attract attention or any supernatural element. 

So, most of their works revolves around everyday life and the problems that normal people experience.

        i'm fairly sure that the correct answers are 2 and 3.

        i used both my knowledge of world history and the process of elimination to obtain these answers. option 1 cannot be a possible selection because the mandate of heaven belongs to ancient chinese philosophical belief. option 4 sounds like it would benefit the region than detriment it. however, both 2 and 3 explain a potential reason for what could have contributed to the fall of the roman empire.

      hope this ! if i were you, i'd get a second opinion, because i haven't taken this course for a year. best of luck!
