Question

Which statement is true about how dramatic literature and fiction differ?

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Only dramatic literature has acts and scenes. Dramatic literature refers to stories that are meant to be performed for an audience. These dramas can be based on fiction or nonfiction. However only the specific nature of dramatic literature actually requires acts and scenes to outline to structure of the performance intended. This answer can also be arrived at by deconstructing the other options. We know A cannot be correct because there are many fictions which do not require stage directions, take 'Harry potter' or 'The Hunger Games' for example. We know C cannot be correct because characters are in inherent concept for any structured story. And we know D cannot be correct because, again, there are many works of fiction that do not necessarily require a formal script. The answer bust therefore, be B.
