Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

With the demise of more and more print outlets for reviews and criticism, the Internet is increasingly becoming the source to which theatre-goers turn for the evaluation of productions. The Internet offers average audience members an opportunity to publicly express opinions about a production, potentially reaching a vast readership. This has democratized criticism, allowing new voices into a conversation once dominated only by professional critics in newspapers, magazines, and journals, and taken away some of the power of a few reviewers to make or break a production. On the other hand, some argue this has lowered the level of discourse about theatre, and, because the well informed and the uninformed may use the same outlets to express their points of view, readers may not be able to accurately judge the value of what is being written. There is also the possibility that commercial interests may taint online criticism.

Answer to Question 3

FALSE
