Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate thecorrect answer to each of the questions. There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece. The one most widely acceptedtoday is based on the assumption that drama evolved from ritual. The argument for this view goes as follows. Inthe beginning, human beings viewed the natural forces of the world, even the seasonal changes, as unpredictable,and they sought, through various means, to control these unknown and feared powers. Those measures whichappeared to bring the desired results were then retained and repeated until they hardened into fixed rituals.Eventually stories arose which explained or veiled the mysteries of the rites. As time passed some rituals wereabandoned, but the stories, later called myths, persisted and provided material for art and drama.Those who believed that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rites contained the seed of theater because music, dance, masks, and costumes were almost always used. Furthermore, a suitable site hard to beprovided for the performances, and when the entire community did not participate, a clear division was usuallymade between the "acting area" and the "auditorium". In addition, there were performers, and since considerableimportance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the enactment of rites, religious leaders usually assumed thattask. Wearing masks and costumes, they often impersonated other people, animals, or supernatural beings, andmimed the desired effect- success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun as an actor might.Eventually such dramatic representations were separated from religious activities.Another theory traces the theater's origin from the human interest in storytelling. According to this view,tales (about the hunt, war or other feats) are gradually elaborated, at first through the use of impersonation, action,and dialogue by a narrator and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person. A closelyrelated theory traces theater to those dances that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitation ofanimal movements and sounds. According to the passage, what is the main difference between ritual and drama?
