Question 10 • English Language Arts 9

Review the information in the chart about the problems of turning stories into films. Problem Solution The plot is exceeding a reasonable time frame. Cut scenes. The narrative description of the setting is too long. Build a detailed set. A prop is a challenge to use. Change the prop. Characters' thoughts need to be described. What solution best completes the chart?

Answer
A
Change the ending.
B
Eliminate characters.
C
Add more narrative detail.
D
Add dialogue or a voice-over.

Explanation

A film cannot directly show a character’s private thoughts the way a written story can. Dialogue or a voice-over lets the audience hear those thoughts, so “Add dialogue or a voice-over” best completes the chart. Changing the ending or eliminating characters would not explain what the characters are thinking.
