Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 8.19 Text vs. performance what changed skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Read the excerpt from "The Last Balcony." The siblings leave the condemned apartment without looking back. In the film adaptation, the youngest sibling turns and waves at the plants still growing on the balcony. How does the film ending change the scene?

AIt removes the sadness of leaving and turns the ending cheerful.

BIt adds lingering attachment and a small note of hope within the loss.

CIt proves the family will return to the apartment soon.

DIt changes the plants into the main characters.

Solution & Explanation:Not looking back in the text feels final and heavy. The wave to the plants keeps the loss, but it also adds affection and hope.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Read the excerpt from "Velvet Ashes." After the final funeral song, the singer closes the piano lid. Look at the planned performance still. Which statement best explains the change in meaning?

AIt confirms the grief is complete and fully resolved.

BIt suggests the grief remains open and unfinished even as the scene ends.

CIt proves someone else is still playing the piano.

DIt makes the piano more important than the song itself.

Solution & Explanation:Closing the lid in the text sounds final. An open lid and the lingering note in the still suggest the emotion continues beyond the scene.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Read the excerpt from "Tin Meadow." At the festival, the scarecrow burns, ending the town's old superstition. In the performance, the closing montage shows the scarecrow's ashes mixed into the field before planting. What theme is most strengthened by the performance ending?

ALoss can become part of renewal instead of simply marking an ending.

BSuperstitions can only be destroyed through fire.

CFestivals matter more than farming.

DThe scarecrow was alive all along.
