Question

understanding elements of graphic novels
match each element of a graphic novel with its description.
panel
caption
gutter
speech bubble
speech balloon
an individual frame on a page
a graphic element to show external
a graphic element to show internal thoughts
a word box on a page explaining the scene
white space between and around frames

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the definitions of each graphic novel element:

• panel: An individual frame on a page (this is the basic unit containing a scene).
• caption: A word box on a page explaining the scene (provides context/narration).
• gutter: White space between and around frames (the space separating panels).
• speech bubble: A graphic element to show external thoughts (wait, correction: speech bubble is for spoken dialogue, but the option here—actually, speech bubble (or balloon) for external dialogue, but the option "a graphic element to show external thoughts" might be a mix, but let's check standard definitions:
• Speech bubble: contains spoken dialogue (external communication).
• Speech balloon (or thought bubble) for internal thoughts? Wait, the options:
• "a graphic element to show external thoughts" – maybe a typo, but speech bubble is for external (spoken) while thought bubble is for internal. But given the options, let's match correctly:
• speech bubble: a graphic element to show external thoughts (or dialogue, but the option says "external thoughts"—maybe intended as external communication).
• speech balloon (wait, the left term is "speech balloon"): Wait, the left list has "speech bubble" and "speech balloon"? Wait, no, the left terms are panel, caption, gutter, speech bubble, speech balloon.

Correct matches:

• panel → an individual frame on a page
• caption → a word box on a page explaining the scene
• gutter → white space between and around frames
• speech bubble → a graphic element to show external thoughts (or dialogue, as speech bubbles contain spoken words, which are external communication)
• speech balloon → a graphic element to show internal thoughts (thought balloons are for internal thoughts)

Wait, the right options:

1. an individual frame on a page → panel
2. a graphic element to show external → speech bubble (for spoken, external)
3. a graphic element to show internal thoughts → speech balloon (thought balloon)
4. a word box on a page explaining the scene → caption
5. white space between and around frames → gutter

So the matches are:

• panel → an individual frame on a page
• caption → a word box on a page explaining the scene
• gutter → white space between and around frames
• speech bubble → a graphic element to show external thoughts
• speech balloon → a graphic element to show internal thoughts

Answer:

• panel: an individual frame on a page
• caption: a word box on a page explaining the scene
• gutter: white space between and around frames
• speech bubble: a graphic element to show external thoughts
• speech balloon: a graphic element to show internal thoughts

(If we need to present as the matching pairs with the arrows, the correct connections are:
panel → an individual frame on a page
caption → a word box on a page explaining the scene
gutter → white space between and around frames
speech bubble → a graphic element to show external thoughts
speech balloon → a graphic element to show internal thoughts)
