Questions 4 and 5 are based on the following reading
passage.
Innovative as it is, Luis Valdez' acto owes much to the
theater traditions or other periods and regions. Like early
Spanish American religious dramas, secular folk dramas,
and the Mexican carpas of a somewhat later period, actos
5 are usually performed outdoors by traveling groups of
players or by local theater groups. The improvised comic
satire of the actos is often attributed to Valdez' study of
the Italian commedia dell' arte of the sixteenth century,
although some critics see it as a direct reflection of the
10 comic and improvisational qualities of the more
contemporary and local carpas of Mexican theater. The
Italian influence is likely, whatever Valdez‘ immediate
source: the Mexican carpas themselves are said to have
originated from the theater pieces of a sixteenth-century
15 Spanish writer inspired by encounters with Italian
commedia dell'arte troupes on tour in Spain.
4. Which of the following best describes the author's
evaluation of the views of the critics?
(A) Their views, if correct, do not preclude the
existence of an Italian influence on the acto.
(B) Their views are unlikely to be correct, given
the differences existing between Mexican and
Mexican American theater.
(C) Their views concerning the Mexican carpa are
essentially correct, but they lack familiarity
with the acto.
(D) Their views are probably more correct than the
views of those who have attributed the
comic and improvisational elements of the
acto to earlier sources.
(E) Their views betray a lack of familiarity with
the commedia dell'arte.
5. Which of the following, if true, most strengthens
the author's argument concerning the debt of the
acto to the theater traditions of other periods and
regions?
(A) Many popular forms of theater rely heavily
on improvisation.
(B) Plays resembling the acto in structure were
written in the 1970's by West African
playwrights who are interested in dramatizing
the richness of their own cultures.
(C) The use of masks has, at one time or another,
been characteristic of the theater traditions
of almost all cultures, even those most isolated
from outside influences.
(D) During a strike, it is common for union members
to present musical skits dramatizing the
values of solidarity and resistance.
(E) Before 1965 Luis Valdez had attended many
performances of traditional Mexican theater
groups touring the western United States. |
