Question

Read the excerpt from The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England. When the trumpets sound, most people quieten down, waiting for the play to begin. If you are sitting in the gallery you will have a clear view of the stage as it projects out from the far side of the round enclosure. Leading actors will come right out along this platform and deliver their soliloquies directly to the crowd. So too will a clown like Will Kempe, when he wishes to extemporize and make "a scurvy face.” There are two large columns, both elaborately painted, which support the roof that covers the back of the stage. How does the author effectively describe the experience of watching an Elizabethan play? The author uses a serious tone and a third-person point of view to effectively describe the experience.

Answer 2

Answer: D) The author uses descriptive details and a second-person point of view to effectively describe the experience.

Step-by-step explanation: when narrating a story or making a description, we can use different perspectives according to the impact we want to make, we can use first person (using the pronouns "I" or "we"), second person (using the pronoun "you") and third person perspective (using the pronouns "he," "she," "it" and "they"). In the given excerpt the author uses a second-person point of view ("If you are sitting in the gallery you will have a clear view of the stage as it projects out from the far side of the round enclosure") and also uses descriptive details to effectively describe the experience.
