請教各位一下大大 Paragraph 1:　 In seeking to describe the origins of theater, one must rely primarily on speculation, since there is little concrete evidence on which to draw. The most widely accepted theory, championed by anthropologists in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, envisions theater as emerging out of myth and ritual.The process perceived by hese anthropologists may be summarized briefly.During the early stages of its development,a society becomes aware of forces that appear to influence or control its food supply and well-being.Having little understanding of natural causes, it attributes both desirable and undesirable occurrences to supernatural or magical forces,and it searches for means to win the favor of these forces. Perceiving an apparent connection between certain actions performed by the group and the result it desires, the group repeats, refines and formalizes those actions into fixed ceremonies, or rituals. 4. According to paragraph 1, why did some societies develop and repeat ceremonial actions? ○To establish a positive connection between the members of the society ○To help society members better understand the forces controlling their food supply ○To distinguish their beliefs from those of other societies ○To increase the society’s prosperity 我想問的是 2和4的選項我對第2的選項的理解是幫助社會的成員較好了解一種控制食物供給的力量所以對應到的那句話應該是 During the early stages of its development,a society becomes aware of forces that appear to influence or control its food supply and well-being. 因為人們不了解這樣的自然的成因進而去 formalizes those actions into fixed ceremonies, or rituals. 可是為什麼答案是4呢如果是4的話那他所對應到的同義句或同義字是哪一句呢謝謝各位 -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.64.156.172
