Answer 1

The correct option is C Actors have already felt the full range of human emotions

I began to become more and more troubled by the self-oriented method. I began to look for ways to engage my students in putting themselves in other peoples shoes. This went against the grain of the psychological realism tradition, which was to get the character to walk in the actors shoes.

Further he said I needed evidence that you could find a characters psychological reality by inhabiting that characters words.

Hence Option C is correct answer.
