(1 point) i am american by jennifer tibbets (gretchen schriver enters left and walks down left. silhouettes congregate up right and throughout the speech slowly spread out across the back of the stage, legs and arms spread wide to represent the prairie ) gretchen schriver: i am american. in 1885 my family left the newly united germany. it was the industrial revolution and machines were replacing people. my family was no longer needed. america was still wide open, though. they entered through galveston, texas, and eventually made their way up the mississippi river to milwaukee. they farmed. they took all that land, that prairie grass waving mile after mile, and started turning it into the lyrical spoken language evokes a figurative impression set design stages a vivid backdrop for the unfolding action gestures and scenery create a detailed literal representation speech and gestures combine to suggest a general impression

Explanation:

The text mentions silhouettes spreading out to represent the prairie (gestures) and the description of the prairie grass in the speech. This combination of speech and gestures gives a general impression of the prairie. The lyrical spoken - language option focuses only on language without the gesture aspect, the set - design option doesn't match as there's no emphasis on set design in the given text, and the detailed literal representation isn't accurate as it's more of a general impression rather than a detailed literal one.

Answer:

Speech and gestures combine to suggest a general impression
