According to Aristotle, the events of a tragedy are connected through __________.

Answer
A
cause-and-effect relationships
B
songs of the chorus
C
dialogue between characters
D
thoughts of the characters

Explanation

Aristotle said a tragedy’s plot should present events linked by probability or necessity, so that one event leads to another. This is a chain of cause-and-effect relationships. Chorus songs, dialogue, and characters’ thoughts may contribute to a tragedy, but they are not the principle that connects its events.
