Explanation: Self-reflexivity is a recurring element in postmodern literature. Self-reflexivity consists in including passages or statements which aim to reflect about the language itself and the process of writing. In that way, it functions as a literary device and it focuses on dealing with the manners of composition. In sentence 3, the author makes reference to literary strategies of the nineteenth century and, in sentence 4, he alludes to the writing process of realist writers.
