What is one possible advantage of hearing the characters’ voices as opposed to silently reading the scene?

Answers

One possible advantage to hearing a character out loud in the voice of an actor or reader (or even one´s own voice) is that, if the histrionic and aesthetic execution and delivery of the reading is powerful and well-constructed, it could add depth to the character by revealing emotions and dimensions of the character that a silent and monotonous reading could risk passing over without emphasizing it and its importance.

If you hear their voices it can help you guess how they feel in the situation as well as guess the tone of the story.

In the early 1920s, Mr. Kelly Miller argued against women's suffrage stating:Women are physically weaker than men and cannot compete with them in activities of public and practical life. Politics is a game of force and women are too weak to be given an obvious role. Women lack a sense of what is right for the public if those ideas disagree with their personal feeling and interest.

Which statement most accurately describes Mr. Miller's argument?

His argument is strong because it shows how most people felt about women in the 1920s.
His argument is weak because it is based on poor assumptions about women's skills and abilities.
His argument is strong because it relies on scientifically proven facts about men and women.
His argument is weak because he does not provide his opinion regarding women's suffrage.

Answers

Answer:

The statement that most accurately describes Mr. Miller's argument is His argument is weak because it is based on poor assumptions about women's skills and abilities.

Explanation:

Mr. Kelly Miller's argument has not solid fundament or evidence to be supported, all his statements were made under narrow-minded assumptions that society had toward women in a time when they were not supposed to be anything else but housewives and mother, then any role that was going against that belief was considered irrational and impossible.
