    • Guitar

    • Triangle

    • Xylophone

    • Autoharp

    Correct Answer
    A. Xylophone
    Explanation
    A xylophone would be the most appropriate classroom instrument for third graders to use in performing this ostinato. The xylophone is a percussion instrument that is easy to play and produces clear, distinct notes. It is also suitable for young children as it requires minimal coordination and can be played by striking the bars with mallets. The guitar may be too challenging for third graders as it requires more finger dexterity and knowledge of chords. The triangle is a simple instrument, but it may not provide enough variety in sound for an ostinato. The autoharp is more complex and may be difficult for third graders to play.

This means how the different elements of the dance, such as movements, sequences, and sections, are arranged and organized to create a cohesive and meaningful whole. It involves the overall design and layout of the dance, including the order of movements, the repetition and variation of steps, and the overall shape and structure of the piece. Understanding the form of a dance helps dancers and choreographers to create and perform the work in a coherent and effective way.

    • Overlapping

    • Atmospheric perspective

    • Chiaroscuro

    Correct Answer
    A. Overlapping
    Explanation
    Overlapping is the simplest technique for creating a feeling of spatial depth on a flat surface. By placing objects in front of each other, with some partially covering others, it creates the illusion of distance and depth. This technique is easy to understand and implement, making it a straightforward way to create a sense of space in a two-dimensional artwork.

    When writing realistic dialogue for a play,which of the following guidelines is mosthelpful to follow?

    • Follow the rules of basic grammar

    • Work toward a ratio of one question for every two statements.

    • Use a minimal number of adjectives

    Correct Answer
    A. Use a minimal number of adjectives
    Explanation
    When writing realistic dialogue for a play, using a minimal number of adjectives is the most helpful guideline to follow. Adjectives are descriptive words that can add unnecessary details and make the dialogue sound unnatural. Realistic dialogue is more focused on conveying the characters' thoughts, emotions, and actions through their words, rather than relying on excessive adjectives. By using a minimal number of adjectives, the dialogue becomes more concise and authentic, allowing the audience to better connect with the characters and the story.
