Which of the following statements on Pathetic Fallacy is NOT TRUE ?
Answer: D
The statement that is not true is that the term was originally used by Alexander Pope in his Pastorals (1709). The phrase pathetic fallacy was coined by John Ruskin in Modern Painters (1856), in the chapter Of the Pathetic Fallacy, and not by Pope.
The other three statements are true. Ruskin used the term with disapproval, since nature cannot feel as humans do; it is generally understood as the attribution of human traits to nature; and it is a mode in which description is not literally true but imaginative and fanciful.
