done

Explanation:

• For "The viewer must imagine the setting": In film, the setting is visible, so this is not a similarity.
• For "The viewer must infer the characters’ emotions and motivations from the actors’ portrayals": In both stage and film, actors portray characters, and viewers infer emotions/motivations from these portrayals. This is a similarity.
• For "The viewer must visualize the action": In film, action is visible, so this is not a similarity.
• For "The viewer must infer the mood from lighting and sound effects": Both stage (with stage lighting and sound) and film (with cinematic lighting and sound) use lighting and sound to create mood, so viewers infer mood from these in both. This is a similarity.
• For "The viewer must interpret the setting to understand the story’s context": In both, the setting (whether on stage or in film) needs to be interpreted by the viewer to grasp the story’s context (e.g., time period, location). This is a similarity.

Answer:

• The viewer must infer the characters’ emotions and motivations from the actors’ portrayals.
• The viewer must infer the mood from lighting and sound effects.
• The viewer must interpret the setting to understand the story’s context.
