which choice most logically completes the text?
choose 1 answer:
a very unusual for the period.
b copied by many of guy-blaché’s peers.
c better than film acting today.
d familiar to actors who had worked on other directors’ films.

Explanation:

El texto explica que en la época, los actores exageraban sus acciones y expresiones, pero Alice Guy - Blaché quería que los actores se comportaran naturalmente. Entonces, su estilo de actuación era diferente al de la época, es decir, inusual. La opción B no tiene soporte (no se dice que los pares la copiaran), la C no tiene relación (no se compara con la actuación actual) y la D es incorrecta porque el estilo de otros directores era exagerado, no natural.

Answer:

A. very unusual for the period.
