Question

read the following scene from trifles.
mrs. hale (resentfully). i dont know as theres anything so strange, our takin up our time with little things while were waiting for them to get the evidence. (she sits down at the big table, smoothing out a block with decision.) i dont see as its anything to laugh about.
mrs. peters. (apologetically). of course theyve got awful important things on their minds. (pulls up a chair and joins mrs. hale at the table.)
how would an audio recording most likely convey the characters emotions during this scene?
○ with the act of mrs. peters joining mrs. hale at the table
○ with a close - up on each womans face
○ with a change in each characters tone of voice
○ with the sound effect of a chair sliding across the floor

Explanation:

An audio recording conveys information through sound. The act of joining at the table (first option) and close - up on faces (second option) are visual elements, and the chair sliding sound (fourth option) is a sound effect but not related to conveying emotions. Tone of voice (third option) is a sound - related element that can show emotions like Mrs. Hale's resentment and Mrs. Peters' apologetic attitude.

Answer:

C. with a change in each character’s tone of voice
