We are looking for an answer choice that both authors would agree describes typical novels but not Cather's work.
(C) "description of a character's physical appearance, dress, and facial expression" This is incorrect. Passage A discusses how Cather's work follows the work of Turgenev, who "described a character's appearance and actions" rather than directly explained the character's emotions.
(E) "a narration of a character's inner thoughts, including an account of the character's anxieties and wishes" This is correct. As explained above, Passage A discusses Cather's focus on describing physicalities/actions instead of explicitly explaining a character's emotions. Passage B describes how Cather's work departs from typical novels, which use "direct psychological characterization."
Does that make sense? Please let us know if you have any other questions!
