Answer to Question 1

The student could say that the most important job a director has is to unify a
vision of many minds and compare that notion to that of an actor, whose job is to create a
fully realized character that the audience identifies with, not someone who fits into a larger
scheme of things, but rather someone who is vivid enough, that the character can be
melded by the director into something that fits into a unified idea.

Answer to Question 2

C.
