Arnold is interviewing a local restaurant owner and chef about his plans to renovate an abandoned building for use as a new rest
aurant space. During the interview, he notices that the chef is talking a lot about his previous restaurant, which was housed in a different building. Arnold is concerned the interview is getting off topic. Which question would be most useful in helping Arnold to direct the interview back on topic? In what ways did the previous restaurant inspire you to take on this new project? Why did you decide to open your previous restaurant? Do you think that cooking and carpentry are similar hobbies? What neighborhood was your previous restaurant located in?
The question which would be most useful in helping Arnold to direct the interview back on topic is, 'In what ways did the previous restaurant inspire you to take on this new project?'
Answer: Option A.
Explanation:
In the above mentioned scenario, the interview is based on the topic about the plans to renovate an abandoned building for use as a new restaurant space. But the interview goes off topic. So the best way to bring the interview back on topic is by questioning about the ways in which the previous restaurant inspired them to take on the new project. This question in itself is about the new project, and answering this question will thus direct the topic on track. If we look at the rest of the questions, none of them is quite related to the interview topic.
Generally, the elements of drama that reveal the traits and motivations of the character to the audience are plot and dialogue, but other elements may do this as well.
