Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Replaces political for literary criteria in evaluating such fiction

The author in the last sentence of the first paragraph mentions: "The recent work of Addison Gayle's passes a judgement on the value of Black fiction by clear political standards, rating each work according to the idea of Black fiction by clear political standards, rating each work according to the ideas of Black identity, which it propounds."
