The correct answer would be choice A) or the first option.
In order to evaluate how an actor interprets a character it is important for the audience to ask themselves these three things:
1. Which words does the actor emphasize? <em>(1)</em>
- This helps the audience identify which words the actor thinks are most important to help establish the tone and meaning of the character's words.
2. What gestures and movements does the actor make? (5)
- People often say that actions speak louder than words, so how the actor portrays the character's non-verbals shows a lot about how the actor believes the character to be.
3. What emotions does the actor convey? (6)
- The characters in the story show different emotions that go along with the storyline or help explain something unwritten. So, when an actor shows emotions they are helping to evolve the character within the story.
The other options: "What makes this a talented actor?", "How old is the actor?" , and "In what other productions has the actor appeared?" do not have to do with how the character is interpreted, but rather the actor themselves or the casting for the character.
"A. her fearlessness because the dog could kill her" is perhaps the best option from the list, but it should be noted that there are other elements as well.
