Question

“Dramatic moments make a story exciting, but walking the plank is just that—theater.”

b. They emphasize that dramatic events are expected by an audience.
c. They illustrate the difference between real life plank walking and movie plank walking.
d. They draw a connection between real life plank walking and movie plank walking.

Answer 1

D.

While they are acting, they are giving expressions on how the connection between real life plank walking and movie plank walking is happening. This makes it so we have D. If they weren't having a connection/empathising then this would have no connection.
