"A point on a cline rather than as an absolute" refers to :
Answer: D
The phrase refers to a gradual change or variation.
A cline is a continuous scale or gradient on which items shade into one another, a term used in linguistics for features that vary by degree. Saying that literariness is 'a point on a cline rather than an absolute' means a text is not simply literary or non-literary: it can be more or less literary, at some position along a continuum.
A starting point and an ending point name only the two ends of such a scale, and 'a vast domain' describes a large area, not a graded series. None of them captures the idea of gradual variation that the word cline carries.
