MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Opera refers to a dramatic art form, originating in Europe, in which the emotional content is conveyed to the audience as much through music, both vocal and instrumental, as it is through the lyrics. By contrast, in musical theatre an actor's dramatic performance is primary, and the music plays a lesser role. The drama in opera is presented using the primary elements of theatre such as scenery, costumes, and acting. However, the words of the opera, or libretto, are sung rather than spoken. The singers are accompanied by a musical ensemble ranging from a small instrumental ensemble to a full symphonic orchestra. We can understand from the reading that ----
people are captivated more by opera than musical theatre
drama in opera is more important than the music
orchestras in operas can vary considerably in size
musical theatre relies above all on music
there is argument over whether the music is important or the words in opera

Aristotle, who lived from 384 BC to 322 BC, taught that the heart contained the intelligence. Except for a few guesses like this, he observed carefully. He described the habits and the bodily structure (anatomy) of many animals, birds and fish. Another Greek, Galen, who lived in the second century AD, performed biological experiments. Both careful observation of living things and experiments are used today in the study of biology. Galen observed and described the internal anatomy of the human body.-He described many parts that he saw in the body. But he was not always careful. He sometimes described what he expected to see and did not look carefully to see what was really there. For centuries after Galen, people studied anatomy from his books instead of trusting their own observations. It's obvious that Aristotle ----.
thinks that it is the brain which contains the intelligence
died in his sixties
observed only birds and fish
is both a great philosopher and a biologist
described both the habits and the structure of animals better than anyone else
