The passage below is 161 words. Writing passages on the Pre-AP English 1 quizzes range from 250 to 300 words.  \nDirections: Questions 3-4 are based on the passage below.

Choose the “NO CHANGE” option if you think the best choice is to leave the identified portion of the passage as it is.  \nOur Town?  \n(1) Thornton Wilder’s 1938 play Our Town presents the story of the lives of the citizens in a fictional town known as “Grover’s Corners” over a thirteen-year period. (2) The stage manager narrates this story by introducing scenes that position the characters in specific moments in time.  \n(3) The character of the stage manager is compelling because he knows he’s in a play, but he doesn’t believe the play is fictional, as it presents the history of the town that he lives in. (4) In the opening to the play, the stage manager states: “This play is called ‘Our Town.’ (5) It was written by Thornton Wilder … the First Act shows a day in our town. (6) The day is May 7, 1901. (7) The time is just before dawn.”  \n(8) Later, in an Act Two soliloquy, the stage manager states: “The First Act was called the Daily Life. (9) This act is called Love and Marriage. (10) There's another act coming after this: I reckon you can guess what that's about.”(11) (The final act is called “Death and Eternity.”) (12) By having the stage manager be aware that he’s in a play but not that the play is itself a fiction, Thornton challenges the very conventions of what a play is.  \n3. The writer is considering revising sentence 8 to the sentence below.  \nLater, in an Act Two soliloquy, the stage manager outlines the play’s structure to the audience: “The First Act was called the Daily Life.”  \nShould the writer make this revision?  \nA.
