9.3: Interpreting a Source Text: A Production of Trifles

Question 13 • MO-English Language Arts 11 B-CR

What is true about both the stage and film version of a drama?

Answer
A
Neither require the viewer to interpret the setting to better understand the story’s context.
B
Neither require the viewer to interpret the mood based on the lighting and sound effects used.
C
Both require the viewer to visualize the action based on the stage directions in the drama’s script.
D
Both require the viewer to infer characters’ emotions and motivations through the actors’ portrayals.

Explanation

In both stage and film dramas, actors use their expressions, voices, gestures, and actions to portray characters. Viewers interpret these portrayals to understand what characters feel and why they act as they do. Choice C is incorrect because film viewers see the action rather than having to visualize it from script directions.
