Question

When the trumpets sound, most people quieten down, waiting for the play to begin. If you are sitting in the gallery you will have a clear view of the stage as it projects out from the far side of the round enclosure. Leading actors will come right out along this platform and deliver their soliloquies directly to the crowd. So too will a clown like Will Kempe, when he wishes to extemporize and make "a scurvy face." There are two large columns, both elaborately painted, which support the roof that covers the back of the stage. How does the author effectively describe the experience of watching an Elizabethan play?

Answer 1

Answer:

D). The author uses descriptive details and a second-person point of view to effectively describe the experience.

Explanation:

Elizabethan plays are characterized as the dramas produced during the reign of queen Elizabeth. They were primarily known for their heroic themes with a dash of supernatural elements based on strong characters possessing their passion and aspirations.

As per the question, the author depicts the experience of witnessing an Elizabethan play effectively by employing 'descriptive details and the second-person perspective.' It helps the readers understand the exact environment and atmosphere in which the plays were performed. These descriptions reveal that 'Elizabethan plays were performed in open areas and people used to sit in the gallery located around the stage, trumpets' sound denote that the play was about to begin, the actors would reveal that setting of the scene, minimal scenery, distinct expressions to connote ideas, etc.' Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Answer 2

D. The author uses descriptive details and a second-person point of view to effectively describe the experience.
