7. b.

The author uses the phrases “deliberately obscure” and

“impossible to understand” to give a negative description

of the “new writers” he is addressing. When the author

states that obscure writing is “impossible to understand

except by a small, elite group of other writers,” most likely

he is not putting down the average reader but implying

that most readers are not interested in obscure writing.
