Answer:

The answer is D. audience gave a well-deserved.

Explanation:

Audiences normally <em>give </em>and not <em>receive </em>applauses, so this is the error in the sentence, which allows us to eliminate the other which don't have a "gave" for verb, which basically are options: A, C and E.

Why isn't B? Well, because our rule about hyphens in adjectives, tells us that if the adjective goes before the noun, it should be hyphenated. But, if the adjective goes after, then it should not. In this case, our noun is "applause" and as you can see it goes after the "well-deserved" adjective, so this is the reason why it's hyphenated. Other story would be if it said: <em>the round of applause was well deserved (</em>no hyphen, as it goes after).

In 300 words or less, explain how ancient Greek Drama is different from our contemporary experience at the movies or at the thea
uranmaximum [27]
<span>There are many differences. Greek theater had a chorus, which sang and likely danced. The arrangement of the stage was completely different, featuring a single building with a large entrance on to the stage, a crane to bring divine characters in on a higher level, a dancing area for the chorus, and so on. Actors were all male and performed in masks; there were few actors available for the playwright's use (two or later three could be on stage at a time). Plays were put on at civic/religious festivals, not as standalone productions, and cycles of four plays (three tragedies and a comic satyr play) by the same author were performed. The list could go on for a while.</span>
