The answer is (D). The author of passage 1 explains why "standing in front of an audience is a daunting idea" by emphasizing the actor's vulnerability (lines 3-4). Thus, it can be claimed that passage one analyzes a phenomena. The subject of stage fright is covered again in passage 2, but this time the topic is how to deal with it. Thus, it might be claimed that passage 2 offers a problem-solving suggestion.
The answer is (A). According to passage 1, the "unique issue of hiding and showing at the same time" is a part of "maintaining the truth of the character" (lines 4-7). Additionally, the text advises the actor to refrain from letting "the audience see something it is not supposed to see: specifically, the performer's dread, or stage fright" (lines 9-11). This implies that the performer must conceal items unrelated to the character and, consequently, display only actions appropriate for the character to the audience.
The answer is (B). The first paragraph expressly implies that "performance" is the "domain of stage fear" (lines 1-2). Stage fear is exacerbated by circumstances that are specific to the theater, as passage 1 highlights. In passage 2, it is said that substitution is "the key to most fears" (lines 17–18), and it is demonstrated how actors can utilize substitution to get over stage fright. Thus, passage 2 compares stage fright to "most other fears in one respect."
The answer is (D). The book advises actors to "focus more about the comfort of your listeners than their verdicts," at which point "all will fall into place" (lines 20-22).
Clearly, the author considers authentic, truthful history to be the most important quality. Choices D and B (restaurant and museum) are precisely what the author meant when she claimed they weren't as significant as history. Though choice B is challenging, it is still just a museum and not natural history in its natural setting. Choice C pertains to sports despite the fact that Wrigley Field has a lot of history associated with it. Choice A is a historical artifact and symbol, and the author also mentions the locals who contribute to the culture's vibrancy.
