Question 14 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.

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.

Détails de la réponse
The literacy genre that directly imitates human actions is Drama. Drama is a genre of literature that involves the performance of written dialogues and actions by actors on stage or in front of a camera. It usually tells a story through the actions and words of its characters, rather than through the narrator's voice.

Détails de la réponse

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.

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.

Détails de la réponse
In drama, the protagonist is the leading character. The protagonist is the main character in a drama or other work of literature, around whom the story revolves.

While the protagonist may be a "nice guy" or a likable character, this is not always the case. Some protagonists may be morally ambiguous, flawed, or even downright unlikable. However, they are still the character with whom the audience is meant to identify and empathize, and whose journey is meant to drive the plot forward. The writer of the drama creates the story and characters, but the protagonist is a specific character within that story. The actor is the performer who portrays the protagonist on stage or screen, but the character they play is the protagonist.

Question 31 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 32 Rapport
These elements are sections of text within a chapter, they are separated and contain dialogue_____________
Détails de la réponse
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.
Question 33 Rapport

Question 34 Rapport
The juxtaposition of two contrasting ideas in a line of poetry is_________?
Détails de la réponse
The word that describes the juxtaposition of two contrasting ideas in a line of poetry is "oxymoron." An oxymoron is a figure of speech in which two opposite or contradictory ideas are combined to create a new meaning. For example, the phrase "jumbo shrimp" combines the words "jumbo," which means large, and "shrimp," which means small, to create a paradoxical or ironic effect. In poetry, oxymorons can be used to create a sense of tension or to highlight the complexity of a situation or emotion. The other options - "euphemism," "synecdoche," and "catharsis" - do not accurately describe this literary technique.

Détails de la réponse
Question 36 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.
Question 37 Rapport
Serrated Shadows, through dark leaves,
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.
