Part 3: Text Structure in an Informational Text

Question 2 • *HSA 26-27 English IV A -IC

Which excerpt most effectively conveys a conversational and engaging tone?

Answer

"Although many players visit Stratford in Shakespeare’s youth, the town’s corporation prohibits traveling actors from performing there in 1602."

"The Lord Admiral’s Men have Edward Alleyn: a very tall and powerful man who roars his part as he crosses the stage."

"You will see people standing in hats with pipes in hand, and women in their headdresses, all chatting, with an eye open for people they know."

"There are two large columns, both elaborately painted, which support the roof that covers the back of the stage."

Explanation

Choice C speaks directly to the reader with “You will see” and describes people chatting and looking out for familiar faces. That direct address and lively, familiar scene make it feel conversational and engaging. The other choices mainly present information or descriptions in a more formal, detached way.
