question 5 of 10
what is an interpretation?
a. a balanced description of the most important parts of a text
b. a nonliteral use of language to suggest a specific feeling or
meaning
c. an opinion or theory about the meaning of a written text or work of
art
d. a statement that points out problems in another persons claim

Explanation:

• Option A: This describes a summary, not an interpretation. A summary just presents the main parts of a text in a balanced way.
• Option B: This is the definition of a figurative language (like metaphor, simile etc.), not an interpretation.
• Option C: An interpretation is indeed an opinion or theory about the meaning of a written text or work of art. It goes beyond the surface - level details and tries to understand the deeper meaning.
• Option D: This is more like a critique or a counter - claim, not an interpretation.

Answer:

C. An opinion or theory about the meaning of a written text or work of art
