The correct answer is While breaking one pencil during the SATs is bad luck, breaking six pencils is downright abysmal.
Because abysmal is an adjective, and in the rest of the examples it is incorrectly used instead of a noun.

Modernist were called "the lost generation" because of their search for meaning among the fragments of modern life. In the excerpt, the words "lonely men" seem to address the theme of isolation and alienation in society. While everyone seems to have a role to perform in modern life, that does not mean they have found their true identity. Some sort of value seems to have been lost and, with it, men lost themselves. Modernism is characterized by the search of such value.
