Question

1. when reading a play, it is important to use stage directions in order to ______,

act out the drama as you read
envision the action
critique the author’s purpose
assess the characters

Explanation:

Stage directions in a play describe movement, setting, and character actions. Their core purpose is to help readers visualize (envision) how the play unfolds physically, which is the key goal when using them during reading. Acting out the drama is not a necessary or standard use of stage directions for most readers, critiquing author purpose is not their primary function, and assessing characters relies more on dialogue and context than just stage directions.

Answer:

C. envision the action
