Question

question 4 of 5
why is music included between news updates of the radio version of the war of the worlds?
a. to create suspense by making the audience feel they are listening to a real broadcast
b. to allow the audience time to think about what is happening and prepare for the worst
c. to force the audience to listen for information about what to do
d. to allow the broadcasters a chance to calm themselves down and have a small break

Explanation:

In radio dramas like The War of the Worlds, music between news updates mimics real - life radio broadcasts. This technique is a common storytelling device in media (a sub - aspect of the Arts discipline, specifically related to Writing and Audio - Visual Arts in a broader sense). By creating the illusion of a real - time broadcast, it builds suspense. When listeners hear music that might typically be used to fill time in a real news broadcast, it makes them more invested in the "reality" of the situation being presented. Options B, C, and D do not align with common media techniques for engaging an audience in a fictional radio - style narrative.

Answer:

A. To create suspense by making the audience feel they are listening to a real broadcast
