Question 1 Rapport
Which element of drama tells the actor what to do?
Détails de la réponse
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.
Question 2 Rapport
Tell me not, sweet, I am unkind" illustrates_________
Détails de la réponse
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.

Shall share with me this little bed.
And awake me. from my sweet dreams be lost,
Sucking blood from my poor head...
Mbure: "To Bed-Bug"
The most dominant figure of speech in the excerpt is________
Détails de la réponse
The most dominant figure of speech in the excerpt is personification. Personification is a figure of speech in which non-human things are given human qualities or characteristics. In the excerpt, the bed bugs are referred to as "awful parasites" and are accused of "sharing" the bed with the speaker, "awakening" them from their sleep, and "sucking" blood from their head. These actions are all human qualities that are attributed to the bed bugs, which are non-human. This creates a sense of empathy between the speaker and the bed bugs, and also serves to emphasize the speaker's annoyance and frustration with the bed bugs. The other options - metaphor, simile, and hyperbole - do not accurately describe the dominant figure of speech in the excerpt.
Question 5 Rapport
What is the narrator of a poem called?
Détails de la réponse
The narrator of a poem is typically called the "speaker." In poetry, the speaker is the voice behind the words of the poem. It is the persona created by the poet to convey their thoughts, feelings, and experiences through the poem. The speaker may or may not be the same person as the poet, and the speaker's identity may be explicit or implied in the text of the poem. The speaker is the one who is "speaking" the words of the poem, and they are the one who is addressing the reader or the audience. The speaker's voice can be characterized by its tone, style, and language, and it can convey a wide range of emotions and attitudes. It is important to note that the speaker is not the same as the author, who is the person who wrote the poem. The author may have created the speaker as a persona through which to convey their ideas and emotions, but the speaker is a fictional construct within the world of the poem. Therefore, if someone is asking about the narrator of a poem, they are likely referring to the speaker, who is the voice behind the words of the poem.

Détails de la réponse
In the theatre, words spoken by a character that are meant to be heard by the audience but not by the other characters on stage is called an "aside." An aside is a dramatic device in which the character speaks directly to the audience, often revealing their thoughts or feelings, providing additional context or commentary, or simply adding humor or drama to the scene. It is different from a soliloquy, which is a longer speech that is delivered by a character alone on stage, and not addressed to any other character or the audience. "Acoustic" refers to sound, and "tone" refers to the quality or character of a sound or voice, but neither term is specific to the theatre or to the definition provided.

Détails de la réponse
The literacy genre that directly imitates human actions is Drama.

It usually tells a story through the actions and words of its characters, rather than through the narrator's voice.

Question 11 Rapport
_____________refers to time and place of a drama?
Détails de la réponse
The term that refers to the time and place of a drama is "setting." The setting is the physical and social environment in which a story or drama takes place. It includes the time period, the location, the climate, and the social context of the story. The setting can be a specific place, such as a city, a building, or a room, or it can be a more general location, such as a forest, a beach, or a desert. In drama, the setting is important because it helps to establish the context of the story and provides the audience with a visual and emotional backdrop for the action. The setting can also influence the characters' behavior and motivations, as well as the themes and messages of the drama. Therefore, if someone is referring to the time and place of a drama, they are talking about the setting. It is important to note that the setting is not the same as a scene or an act, which refer to specific parts of the drama rather than the overall environment in which the story takes place.

A literary work in which the characters and events are used as symbols is known as _________?
Détails de la réponse
A literary work in which the characters and events are used as symbols is known as an allegory. An allegory is a story or narrative that has a hidden meaning or moral message conveyed through the use of symbols. In an allegory, characters and events represent abstract ideas or concepts, often related to politics, religion, or morality. For example, the novel "Animal Farm" by George Orwell is an allegory in which the animals on a farm overthrow their human owner and attempt to create a society based on equality and freedom. However, the pigs gradually become corrupt and oppressive, representing the rise of Stalinism in the Soviet Union. The animals and events in the story are symbolic of real-life figures and events, allowing the author to criticize political systems and social issues in a veiled and often satirical way. Overall, an allegory is a powerful literary device that can be used to convey complex ideas and messages in a way that is engaging, thought-provoking, and often entertaining.

Question 28 Rapport
The phrase “living death” in a literary work is an example_____________
Détails de la réponse
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.

Till, bathed in warm suffusion of your dapped cells
sensation pained me, faceless, silent as night thieves
Wole Soyinka: "Night"
The dominant mood in the lines above is one at____________
Détails de la réponse
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 reference to a "warm suffusion" may initially create a feeling of comfort, but the subsequent use of "sensation pained me, faceless" implies that the speaker is experiencing discomfort or pain, and the overall tone remains apprehensive. Therefore, the answer to the question is option A: apprehension.
