Question: 292
1. The speaker's primary purpose is to
- A. caution listeners against subpar theater practices
- B. compare previous performances of the play
- C. congratulate the performance of a children's play
- D. advocate for better arts education
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
D Remember to answer the question (why is the speaker sharing this information?) and not choose an answer about what the speaker is saying. The final three paragraphs explain the purpose of the author's speech—theatre has an influence on society and can educate its citizens, ultimately for the better. If there were more theatres, more lives could be reached, educated, and improved as a result.
