Every certified answer to this question is incorrect. Since I cannot answer on any of the forums asking about this question, I will announce the answer in my question.
The correct answer choice is B. With the onset of industrial and scientific advances, Americans no longer believed in the supernatural. It is not A. because wanting to know more about American soldiers has nothing to do with realism in literature according to the big picture. The answer is not C. because escaping into an ideal word would be the opposite of realism.
