Answer:

The play's structure creates suspense:

A. by building tension through a series of crises where Nora must keep her secret;

B. by not resolving the conflict too soon, as Nora is able to keep her secret for a few days

E. by introducing characters and conflicts early when the audience learns that Nora has  committed a crime.

Explanation:

"A Doll's House" is a play by Henrik Ibsen. Very early in the play, the audience learns that Nora has committed a crime. At a time when women were not allowed to do the same things as men, Nora, having to borrow some money from the bank, forged her father's signature to be able to do it. She reveals that information to Mrs. Linde, a friend from school.

Soon afterwards, the very man who gave her the loan comes to her house. Nora's husband Torvald also works at the bank, and is unaware of what Nora has done. The man who lent her the money, Krogstad, is being fired by Torvald. Krogstad demands that Nora help him by threatening to tell her husband about her crime. Nora is able to keep the secret for a couple of days, which adds to the tension and suspense in the play. The audience cannot predict what will take place, if Nora will or won't have her secret revealed.

The crisis gets worse when Krogstad is effectively fired. He now blackmails Nora, demanding to be rehired in a higher position than the one he used to have. Mrs. Linde promises to help Nora, but does not prevent Krogstad from revealing the truth by means of a letter. When Torvald finally learns about Nora's crime, he humiliates her, saying he won't allow her to raise their children. Krogstad, however, returns the contract with the fake signature. He no longer wishes to blackmail Nora. Still, after years of treated as inferior and that final humiliation by Torvald, Nora decides to leave him. For that reason, the play was considered scandalous when it was first performed.

user100 [1]

Answer: Create a dramatic sound mix to present the sounds to the

audience

Question:

Here is the complete question:

In a short story taking place in the forest, the sounds of the forest animals

and insects are described at length. What choice might a filmmaker adapting the short story make instead of describing the sounds?

A. Remove the sounds from the film

B. Create a dramatic sound mix to present the sounds to the

audience

C. Change the setting to avoid the forest sounds

D. Have one of the film's characters comment on the sounds

Explanation:

In short stories and other literary works, the authors rely mainly on written descriptions, monologues or dialogues to present elements such as settings, characters, actions, etc. However, in cases whereby these literary works are adapted into films, the descriptions are not used because the use of a narrator is not common in films, therefore the filmmakers rely on the actions of characters and also show elements rather than describing them.

This means, in the case of a short story that is set in a forest, the best choice for adapting this is to allow the audience hear the sounds of the forest rather than describing them and therefore, the correct answer is to "create a dramatic sound mix to present the sounds to the audience". Option B is the right answer.
