Explanation:

First Question (Which sentence uses one of the words of the day correctly?):

• Option A: "welcomed" here is a normal verb, but if the word of the day is not related to welcoming in this context, it's incorrect.
• Option B: "insolent" and "backtalk" might be misused or not the word of the day.
• Option C: Using a sigh and a shrug to express disappointment is a correct way to show emotion non - verbally, likely matching the word of the day's meaning (e.g., if the word is about non - verbal expression).
• Option D: "hisysis" is likely a typo, and "utilitarian" doesn't fit the context of a broken record, so incorrect.

Second Question (What term refers to role and character, relationships, situation, voice, movement, focus, tension, space, time, language, symbol, audience, mood, and other elements used in performances to enhance meaning?):

• Option A: "Literary elements" are for written works, not performances.
• Option B: "Acting" is just the performance of a role, not all these elements.
• Option C: "Figurative language" is about language devices, not all the listed performance elements.
• Option D: Dramatic elements include all the listed components (role, character, relationships, etc.) used in performances to add meaning, so this is correct.

Answer:

C. Terrence expressed his disappointment in the concert with a sigh and a shrug. (Assuming the options are labeled A - D with A: "Matthew even welcomed the kind new employees to their basketball game.", B: "Brandon’s insolent attitude was always getting him in trouble with his mom who won’t allow backtalk.", C: "Terrence expressed his disappointment in the concert with a sigh and a shrug.", D: "When hisysis record snapped in half, he was bummed that it was utilitarian now." — correction: likely a typo, but the third option shows a correct use of a word (e.g., "expressed" in a context of showing emotion, or if the word of the day is related to non - verbal communication like sigh/shrug as expression))
