Questions 21–24: Table Completion
Strategy: Work row by row. The row label tells you where to look; the column heading tells you what kind of word you need.
“So I thought I’d start with Giannetti, who’s professor of film and literature, and in one of his books he came up with a straightforward classification of film adaptations based on how faithful they are to the original plays and novels.”
Giannetti produced 'a straightforward classification of film adaptations', so classification names the system grouping films by faithfulness.
“I thought that next I’d ask the class to come up with the worst examples of Shakespeare adaptations that they’ve seen, and to say why.”
Students are asked for 'the worst examples of Shakespeare adaptations', so worst is the superlative describing poor films.
“OK, well, I’d better do some slides instead, saying how various films relate to what she says.”
Rather than a handout, the speaker will 'do some slides instead', so slides names the visual aid prepared.
“Next I want to say something about how plays may be chosen for adaptation because they’re concerned with issues of the time when the film is made.”
Plays get chosen because they are 'concerned with issues of the time', so issues is the plural noun the table needs.
