Question

why do authors use causal relationships in plays? select three options.
to create mystery and tension
to introduce the setting
to propel the plot forward
to develop rising action
to introduce the main character

Explanation:

1. Causal relationships can lead to unknown outcomes, creating mystery and tension as audiences wonder what will result.
2. Causal relationships (one event leading to another) are key to moving the plot forward, as each cause - effect chain advances the story.
3. Rising action is developed through a series of causal events that build tension and move towards the climax, so causal relationships help develop rising action.

• Introducing setting is usually done through descriptions of time/place, not causal relationships.
• Introducing main characters is about character presentation (dialogue, description), not causal relationships.

Answer:

A. to create mystery and tension, C. to propel the plot forward, D. to develop rising action
