Question 1

What are three parts of classical dramaturgy?&#10;A) script, structure, and drama&#10;B) beginning, middle, and end&#10;C) tension, comic relief, and conclusion&#10;D) point of attack, climax, and resolution&#10;E) subtlety, ignorance, and the obvious

Accepted Answer

Classical dramaturgy typically consists of three parts: point of attack (the moment when the conflict begins), climax (the moment of highest tension), and resolution (the conclusion of the conflict). These three elements are central to understanding the structure and progression of classical plays. Choices A and B include some correct elements, but do not fully encompass the classical dramaturgical framework. Choice C is incorrect, as comic relief is not a necessary component of classical drama, and may not even be present in some works. Choice E is entirely unrelated to the topic of classical dramaturgy.

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

A fact sheet is a document that outlines key information about a product, service, or other subject. It typically includes major points, statistics, and other important details meant to inform the reader. Therefore, option E "a list of major points about a product to be demonstrated" is the best choice.

Character refers to the individuals who populate the story and who are affected by the events of the plot, and environment refers to the setting, time period, and cultural context that shape the world of the play.
