Molly Barajas · Answer 1

Answer: C) "Directors have dramatic license to interpret a story in a way they chose" is a true statement.

Explanation: The term "dramatic license" makes reference to the fact that directors are authorized to change certain aspects of a pre-existing story, such as characters or situations, if they want to do it. In general, these changes are made with a dramatic purpose. In that way, directors do not have to use the same setting that is described in a novel or script nor use the same lines included in a text. Therefore, option C) is the only one that presents a true statement.

Melody · Answer 2

C) is the correct one.

As a professional actress, I believe that C) is the correct answer. A, B, and D are allowed, but not recommended by authors. The directors do have the right to interpret the story any which way they want.
