Problem 1
Answer and explanation
The form through which meaning is communicated, such as prose, a script, or performance. The unit case offers this example to examine: The story gives readers access to Leila’s internal reflection, while the script presents visible movement, dialogue, and an unplaced card. The audience can infer a gap between her plan and Ari’s view. The change in tools does not make the script identical to the story, but it can communicate a related recognition without a narrator reporting her thoughts. Identify the wording or choice that fits the term. A different accurate example is acceptable.
Use the model to discuss reasoning after an independent attempt. A different accurate supported response can be correct; written work needs human marking.
