Read the given excerpt from Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, Morning-room at the Manor House,
[Gwendolen and Cecily are at the window, looking out into the garden.)
Gwendolen: The fact that they did not follow us at once into the house, as anyone else would have done, seems to me to show that they have
some sense of shame left.
Cecily: They have been eating muffins. That looks like repentance.
Gwendolen: (After a pause.) They don't seem to notice us at all. Couldn't you cough?
Cecily, But I haven't got a cough.
Gwendolen: They're looking at us. What effrontery!
Cecily: They're approaching. That's very forward of them.
Gwendolen: Let us preserve a dignified silence.
Cecily: Certainly. It's the only thing to do now. (Enter Jack followed by Algernon. They whistle some dreadful popular air from a British Opera.)
Gwendolen: This dignified silence seems to produce an unpleasant effect.
Cecily: A most distasteful one.
Gwendolen: But we will not be the first to speak.
Cecily: Certainly not.
Gwendolen: Mr. Worthing, I have something very particular to ask you. Much depends on your reply.

Explanation:

sorry. my computer broke down and i had about 3 doctor's appointments. i'm just catching up now after reinstalling a router.

i think you best answer to this is d. some film directors were very picky about roles and lighting and and which side of the face the camera should catch. they were also picky about sound and background noise and chatter and music and all sorts of what we would consider trivial things. a stage director has to have all this ironed out before the curtain goes up. if he doesn't he better do it soon. if he doesn't notice, critics soon will, and they are not a very nice bunch.

e: both have the power to ask for rewrites. theater directors are always yammering about act 2.

c is true. both can ask for any number of things during rehearsals. the reason i wouldn't pick c is because a film director can make changes anytime during shooting, including when he thinks they ought to be done shooting.

b i didn't know what blocking was and i can't find a good description. if you have one and think b is true, go for it.

a a film director quite frequency chooses the leading lady or man. he may not have the final word, but he chooses. sometimes a theater director has no choice. a is generally not true.
