What is meant by the term “literary movement”?

a. a trend in literature marked by the shared assumptions, beliefs, and practices of a general time period
b. the study of how and where literature is written
c. the use of metaphor and simile to create images in a reader’s mind
d. a brainstorming technique that uses physical movement to generate ideas

The correct answer is option A.

The term "literary movement" is used to refer to "a trend in literature marked by the shared assumptions, beliefs, and practices of a general time period".

By shared assumptions, beliefs, and practices we could understand the reasons for which a literary movement emerges. It is common that a movement emerges as a reaction against the previous one.

For example, Romanticism developed as a reaction against Neoclassicism which was "the age of reason" since all had to be explained by means of the reason, it was the age of order and harmony. In contrast, Romanticism went for feelings and imagination, freedom of speech and freedom of thought.

the sentence that avoid faulty coordination is:

culture, which is well represented in philadelphia, plays a major role including theatre, music, and the visual arts.  

faulty coordination occurs when the writer gives equal importance two different ideas (clauses) which in fact are not equivalent. in order to correct a misplaced clause or idea, the writer can place less important or emphatic ideas in a relative clause as in the previous sentence.
