Questions: Question 15 of 20 Which aspect of the Utah Valley University production of The Tempest best illustrates an artist's interpretation of a text? A. Creating a serious tone by using iambic pentameter speeches B. Creating a humorous tone by using exaggerated gestures and movements C. Creating a mysterious tone by using masks and offstage voices D. Creating a realistic tone by using ordinary costumes and speech SUBMIT

The answer is C. Creating a mysterious tone by using masks and offstage voices.

Iambic pentameter is a traditional metrical pattern used by Shakespeare in his plays, including "The Tempest." While it contributes to the tone, it is not an interpretation unique to this production, as it is part of the original text.

Exaggerated gestures and movements can indeed create a humorous tone, but this is a common theatrical technique and not necessarily a unique interpretation of the text.

This option illustrates an artist's interpretation as it involves creative choices that are not specified in the original text. Using masks and offstage voices adds a layer of mystery and can significantly alter the audience's experience, showcasing the director's unique vision.

Using ordinary costumes and speech to create a realistic tone is a stylistic choice, but it does not necessarily reflect a unique interpretation of the text, as it might strip away some of the play's inherent fantastical elements.
