What is one advantage of reading a play as opposed to watching or listening to it?

Answer
A
Readers can actually view the characters’ costumes.
B
Readers can review scenes and dialogue.
C
Readers do not have to visualize characters.
D
Readers do not have to interpret stage directions.

Explanation

When reading a play, you can go back to earlier scenes and dialogue whenever you need to review them. Watching or listening usually moves forward in real time, so returning to a particular moment can be less convenient. The advantage is that readers can review scenes and dialogue.
