2.4: Part 3: Text Structure in an Informational Text

Question 2 • CA-English Language Arts 12 A

Which sentence most effectively helps readers envision a scene?

Answer

"The reason for these names is that . . . the Act of 1572 specifically excludes players properly authorized by lords from being considered vagabonds."

"However, as the new theater proves more and more popular, actors, writers, and audiences become increasingly centered on the London playhouses."

"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."

"It has been a long time in development but Elizabeth’s reign sees the advent of a dramatic culture which has meaning for us in the modern world."

Explanation

Sentence C helps readers picture a specific place: someone sitting in the gallery and looking toward a stage that projects into a round enclosure. The concrete viewpoint and spatial details make the scene easier to imagine. The other sentences mainly explain history or make general claims rather than describing what a reader would see.
