Read the following poem, "A Jelly-Fish" by Marianne Moore:

an amber-tinctured amethyst

and it closes; you had meant
to catch it and it quivers;
you abandon your intent.

Answer:

D. It focuses on the jellyfish as a single, specific image.

Explanation:

This is the characteristic of the poem that most clearly marks it as a work of Modernism. In this text, we read about a jellyfish. The author describes the jellyfish in extreme detail. She focuses on each aspect of the animal, and discusses the ways in which this interacts with the reader of the poem. The fact that the author focuses on the jellyfish as a single, specific image supports the idea that this is a work of Modernism.
