My turn approached, so I gathered up my nerves and headed to the stage. As the crowd stilled, I adjusted the plano bench along w

ith my formal evening gown that tralled out behind me just like a wedding dress. The first chord rang through the auditorium, and my nervousness was forgotten. Every note sang melodic perfection. Finally, I finished. Forgetting about my long dress, I pushed the piano bench out excitedly, which created a tangled mess of dress and piano bench legs. Suddenly, I was lying on the stage with my feet straight in the air. Quickly, I jumped up and took a bow while the crowd applauded wildly. Walking offstage, I couldn't stop smiling, knowing it was a night I would never forget. Which statement best describes the theme or author's purpose of this text? A. The author's purpose is to persuade people that they don't have to be nervous in front of a crowd B. The theme of the text is that learning not to be embarrassed by your silly mistakes makes life more fun. C. The theme of the text is that performing well is about more than just playing the right notes, D. The author's purpose is to inform readers about courteous behavior when attending a formal music recital​

Are Stories a Key to Human Intelligence?
Monica [59]

Answer:

It tells us how stories can be important to humans.

Explanation:

 Evidence:   "Psychologist Robyn Dawes went much further, suggesting humans are...' the primates whose cognitive 1 capacity shuts down in the absence of a story'...

  "...jurors are influenced by the quality of the prosecution’s and defense’s... 'stories'... when deciding whether to find a defendant guilty."

      "Even in science, we seek explanations, not mere descriptions; in history, we want a good narrative, not a mere sequence of events."
