Question 1 of 3
Read the excerpt below: "The curtains rose on the school auditorium. Maya, the nervous lead, whispered her lines backstage. Suddenly, the stage manager shouted, 'The prop sword is missing!' Panic spread. Leo, the understudy, whispered, 'We can use the wooden stick from the set.' Maya shook her head, 'That won't look real.' As the audience began to file in, the director announced, 'We have to start now or lose the slot.' Maya took a deep breath and decided to improvise, delivering her line without the sword, turning the duel into a clever word battle." Which answer best explains how the incident of the missing prop sword propels the action or provokes a decision in the drama?
