The answers are B and D.
"Cumbersome" describes something that is awkward or difficult to handle due to its bulkiness or complexity.
An "unwieldy" object refers to something that is difficult to manage, handle, or manipulate due to its size or shape.
In the context of the sentence, Anne Carson's book Nox is intentionally described as the opposite of an e-reader, which is designed to be sleek and easy to handle. Therefore, by describing it as "a cumbersome" or "an unwieldy" literary object, the sentence implies that Carson's book intentionally diverges from the portable and convenient nature of an e-reader. Instead, it's characterized as something more unwieldy or cumbersome, perhaps emphasizing its physicality or deliberate departure from the streamlined design of modern digital reading devices.
