Read and choose the best option.
If any teenager were to ask their parents what books they read in high school, the answers would be alarmingly consistent. They might reminisce over a foggy memory of Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers or fume about Holden Caulfield. Authors like J.D. Salinger, Mark Twain, and even Shakespeare have been a part of a high school curriculum for generations. Droves of children have studied the so-called "classics" and formed their own opinions of them. The question is, as time goes on, does it become harder to find relevance in these stories? The struggles that a young boy might have faced in the 1950s are drastically different from the battles fought in today's world. Can old tales connect to new themes, or is it time for them to be replaced with more "modern" literature?
Before a decision is made, we must first define the terms "classic" and "modern". Since those words are very broad, let's call them reflective and relevant. Reflective literature examines an era different from this one. Relevant literature contains ideas and themes that apply to our world today. Still, the age of a book does have significance. Modern, or relevant literature, can generally be restricted to books from the last 20 years.
While newer books can provide refreshing perspectives, many classics feed into stereotypes or portray minorities unfairly. Indeed, we cannot just ignore parts of our history. By acknowledging the mistakes of the past, we can recognize the progress made. Many problems rooted in older literature, like racism and sexism, still exist in our current society. By looking at the past, students can gain new insight into these issues. Teachers are constantly working to put relevant twists on old literature. English teacher Darcy Cearley talks about Romeo and Juliet together with mental wellness, suicide prevention, and how parents talk to children when they are sad. In this sense, the relevance of a book depends heavily on how it is taught.
What is the passage mainly about?
- Differences between classic and modern literature
- Necessity of learning classic works in modern times
- Methods to teach classic novels for today's students

- To explain what is meant by “classic” and “modern” literature
- To stress that literature should be appropriate to the present world
- To specify the timeframe that modern literature is considered relevant
- To relate “classic” and “modern” to the other terms in literature
According to paragraph 3, what is a possible reason for classic works being taught today?
- They present stereotypes or ethnic biases.
- They show social problems common to modern times.
- They encourage students to learn more history.
- They help students realize their mistakes in the past.
Why does the writer mention how an English teacher teaches Romeo and Juliet?
- To criticize how a classic work is being taught at schools
- To present a problem of teaching classic literature
- To explain what can be relevant twists on old literature
