Interpreting a Source Text: A Production of Trifles

Question 2 • IA-English Language Arts 11 B

What are the benefits of hearing the characters’ voices instead of reading the play silently? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
It allows listeners to associate a voice with each character.
B
It helps listeners to interpret the character through his or her tone of voice.
C
It does not provide any benefits for listeners.

Explanation

Hearing the play gives listeners vocal clues that silent reading does not. Different voices can help listeners keep track of which character is speaking, and tone of voice can reveal a character’s feelings or attitude. So associating voices with characters and interpreting tone are both benefits; C is incorrect because listening does provide these benefits.
