Question

doing hunchback of notre dame. i get that you want the set to look like a medieval french cathedral, that you want to immerse the audience in the play.
josiah well, \immersive\ is the objective here.
carter look, im not trying to criticize the idea, but its not like weve got a lot of leisure time here to adapt the plan; ive already got marina working on stone texture and carlos building the big double doors. and now you come to me with flying buttresses? we open in three weeks.
josiah but carter, try to understand my perspective here-
carter activates the cordless drill, drowning out josiah.
carter sorry, whats that? i couldnt quite-
josiah i was saying-
carter does it again.
how does this excerpt advance the dramas plot?
choose 1 answer:
a by revealing carters secret reason for refusing to build flying buttresses
b by introducing a conflict between josiah and carter
c by highlighting events that force josiah to make a final decision about the flying buttresses
d by illustrating why carter and josiah originally became friends

Explanation:

The excerpt shows a disagreement between Josiah and Carter. Josiah wants flying buttresses for the set of Hunchback Of Notre Dame to achieve an "immersive" effect. Carter, on the other hand, is concerned about the time constraints (they open in three weeks) and the work already assigned (Marina on stone texture, Carlos building double doors). Carter's actions (activating the cordless drill to drown out Josiah) further emphasize the conflict. There is no indication of a secret reason (A), no event that forces Josiah to make a final decision (C), and no illustration of why they became friends (D).

Answer:

B. by introducing a conflict between Josiah and Carter
