Explanation:

Question 4

• "It's important to focus on a character’s objectives, not feelings, because performing feelings often comes across as insincere" – This is a valid reason as forced emotional performance can lack authenticity.
• "focusing on objectives allows emotions to flow naturally" – When an actor focuses on what the character wants (objectives), emotions arise more organically from the situation.
• "feelings should not be shown in performances" – This is incorrect. Feelings are part of a character's portrayal; the key is how they are generated (through objectives, not forced). So we check the first two statements.

• "characterization" is the process by which an actor (or writer) creates a character, using skills to develop the character's traits, motives, etc.
• "character making" is not the standard term for this process.
• "finding character" implies discovering an existing character, not creating.
• "gesture" refers to physical movements, not the overall process of character creation.
