Question

The primary purpose of the first three paragraphs (lines 1-38) is to.

• A. Describe the actors process of developing a role
• B. Trace the beginnings of a personal philosophy
• C. Analyze the grandfathers insights into acting
• D. Investigate the effect of words on interpersonal relationships
• E. Explore a viewpoint that the author is forced to reverse

Answer 1

The correct option is B Trace the beginnings of a personal philosophy

In the first paragraph of the passage, the author states and explains that words have always held a special power for her. Second paragraph too takes up the same topic and expands on it. The third talks about actors and acting and how the author's grandfather's idea that if you says a word often enough, the word becomes you, gave her an insight about a person. The common link in all three paragraphs is that the author talks about a personal belief and ideology in these paragraphs. All three paragraphs enlighten the reader about the personal ideology of the author. Thus B is the best answer in the given context.
