Question SA-1. Here is the text reference (p. 181/1):

With the coming of the new century it becomes more and more difficult to see clear patterns between historical trends, major cultural movements, and their manifestation in the arts and literature.

Looking at Latin America as a whole in the 20th Century, we find that there is no single movement, such as Modernism or Romanticism, that permeates the cultural life of almost all the nations and which has a clear pattern of influence in the arts as well as the history of the period.
