Question

Stage directions do all of the following EXCEPT Select one: a. Direct the actors on how to speak their lines. b. Tell the actors where to move during the scene. c. Provide the director with details of the setting. d. Convey the characters' thoughts to the audience.

Answer 1

Answer: d)  Convey the characters thoughts to the audience.

Explanation:

Stage direction are the instructions that are given by director of the play or movie to actors so that they can act appropriately and convey their skills and emotion to audience.Actors can be guided in terms of tone,position, dialogue, movement, expression, reading lines, clarifying script etc.

According to the question, actor can be instructed to move in certain position,speaking certain dialogues and setting details can also be provided.But emotions and thoughts are not conveyed through direction rather it is communicated through actor through their acting skills.Director can only help actor to perform in correct manner to express their acting.

Thus the only inappropriate answer is option(d).
