Question 7 • TPS EdX English Language Arts 11
Read the following scene from The Chaste Adventures of Joseph: A Comedy . THE LADY: Such a lovely house, Madam Potiphar!—But what is this quiet room? Your husband's study? MADAM POTIPHAR: ( coming in ) Oh, this is nothing—merely the room of one of the slaves. Come, dear Cousin Asenath, and I will show you the garden. The pomegranates are just beginning to blossom. ASENATH: The room of a slave? Indeed! He seems to be an educated person! How would a stage interpretation differ from an audio production of this scene?
Answer
A
Viewers would have to imagine the different sound effects associated with this scene.
B
Viewers would not have to infer the emotions or motivations of the characters associated with this scene.
C
Viewers would not have to visualize the setting or the background associated with this scene.
D
Viewers would have to interpret the various stage directions associated with this scene.
Explanation
A stage production gives the audience a visible set, so viewers can see the room and its surroundings rather than imagine them. In an audio production, listeners would need to picture the setting from the dialogue and sound. Therefore, the correct choice is “Viewers would not have to visualize the setting or the background associated with this scene.”
