The excerpt and the options attached to the question above are given below:
Read the following scene from Trifles.
MRS. HALE (resentfully). I don't know as there's anything so strange, our takin' up our time with little things while we're waiting for them to get the evidence. (She sits down at the big table, smoothing out a block with decision.) I don't see as it's anything to laugh about.
A. Move as the reader imagined.
B. Feel as the reader imagined.
C. Look as the reader imagined.
D. Sound as the reader imagined.
ANSWER
The correct option is D.
A possible disadvantage of hearing these scene as opposed to reading it silently is that Mrs. Hale may not SOUND AS THE READER IMAGINED.
If a reader is reading the passage given above, such a reader will see clearly that the statement uttered by Mrs. Hale was spoken resentfully. If a person is hearing the scene on the other hand, such a person may misinterpret the tone, which Mrs. Hale used to speak the statement above.
