Which element of drama tells the actor what to do?
Answer Details
The element of drama that tells the actor what to do is the "stage directions." Stage directions are written instructions in a script that describe the physical actions, movements, and expressions of the characters, as well as the placement of props and set pieces on the stage. These instructions are usually indicated in italics or enclosed in brackets and are intended to guide the actors, director, and other production team members on how to bring the play to life. For example, a stage direction might indicate that a character should enter from stage left, pick up a pen from the desk, and begin writing a letter while pacing back and forth. Actors use these stage directions as a roadmap to bring their characters to life, and to help create a cohesive and believable performance for the audience.

Answer Details
In "Native Son", Mr. Dalton earned a fortune in real estate. Although he profits from charging high rents to poor black tenants—including Bigger’s family—on Chicago’s South Side, he nonetheless claims to be a generous philanthropist and supporter of black Americans. Mr. Dalton is a major player in the production of the “whiteness” that terrifies, oppresses, and enrages Bigger. Despite Bigger’s criminal record, Mr. Dalton gives him a job because he thinks that blacks deserve a chance. Nonetheless, there is condescension in Mr. Dalton’s manner and charity. He simultaneously profits from keeping blacks like Bigger’s family in terrible housing, and expresses alleged benevolence by giving Bigger a menial job.

An act of speaking one’s thought aloud by oneself, regardless of any hearer, in a play is known as____________
Answer Details
The correct answer is "soliloquy". A soliloquy is a literary device used in a play where a character speaks their thoughts aloud, as if talking to themselves, without any other characters present or listening. It is often used to reveal the innermost thoughts and emotions of the character, and can provide insight into their motivations and actions. Soliloquies are typically delivered by one character alone on stage, and can be either serious or comedic in tone. Shakespeare is famous for using soliloquies in his plays, such as Hamlet's "To be or not to be" speech.
Question 9 Report
These elements are sections of text within a chapter, they are separated and contain dialogue_____________
Answer Details
The element that describes sections of text within a chapter, which are separated and contain dialogue, is Paragraphs. Paragraphs are groups of sentences that focus on a particular topic or idea. They are separated by a line break or an indentation to indicate a new thought or a change in the speaker or the setting. In a novel or a story, paragraphs often contain dialogue, which is the spoken words of the characters in the story. Dialogue can help to advance the plot, reveal character traits, and create tension or conflict between characters. Syncopation refers to a musical rhythm that emphasizes the off-beat, and is not directly related to writing. Free verse is a form of poetry that does not follow traditional rhyme and meter patterns, and does not necessarily contain dialogue. Euphony refers to the pleasant sound of words and is more of a stylistic choice in writing, rather than a structural element like paragraphs.

May be abused?
The speaker of the excerpt above is________
Answer Details
The speaker of the excerpt above is Brabantio. In this passage, Brabantio is expressing his shock and dismay at the news that his daughter, Desdemona, has eloped with Othello. He exclaims, "O heaven; How got she out? O treason of the blood!," expressing his disbelief that his own daughter could have betrayed him in such a way. Brabantio then addresses his fellow fathers, warning them not to trust their daughters based solely on their outward actions. He suggests that there may be charms or tricks that can be used to deceive them and corrupt their "property of youth and maid-hood." Overall, Brabantio's speech highlights the theme of deception and the danger of trusting appearances in the play, as well as the tension between fathers and daughters in Elizabethan society.
Question 13 Report
The phrase “living death” in a literary work is an example_____________
Answer Details
The phrase "living death" in a literary work is an example of an "oxymoron." An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines two contradictory or opposing ideas to create a new phrase or concept. In this case, "living" and "death" are two words that are completely opposite in meaning. "Living" refers to being alive and having a vibrant existence, while "death" refers to the absence of life and the end of existence. By combining these two words into the phrase "living death," the author is able to create a powerful image of a situation or state of being that is both alive and dead at the same time. In literature, oxymorons are often used to create a sense of tension, irony, or paradox. They can also be used to create memorable and thought-provoking phrases that stick in the reader's mind. In the case of "living death," the oxymoron is particularly effective in describing a situation or condition that is both physically alive but emotionally or spiritually dead. This can be used to describe a character who is in a state of despair, depression, or hopelessness, or to describe a situation that is stagnant, unchanging, or lacking in vitality.

Answer Details
The dominant mood in the lines from Wole Soyinka's poem "Night" is one of apprehension. The use of words like "serrated shadows," "dark leaves," and "night thieves" create a sense of unease and suggest that danger may be lurking in the shadows.

The line "Tell me not, sweet, I am unkind" illustrates a paradox. A paradox is a statement or situation that contradicts itself or seems to be untrue or impossible. In this case, the speaker is saying "Tell me not (that I am unkind)," which means "Do not tell me that I am not kind," but at the same time, the speaker is acknowledging that they might be unkind. This creates a contradiction or an apparent absurdity that makes the statement paradoxical. Paradoxes are often used in literature, poetry, or philosophy to challenge conventional thinking and to make the reader or listener think more deeply about a subject.
