Answer 1

The five key elements of drama, as defined by Aristotle, are:

1. Plot: The sequence of events and actions in the play.
2. Character: The individuals who populate the story and their development.
3. Thought: The themes, messages, and ideas expressed in the play.
4. Diction: The language used, including dialogue and how it conveys meaning.
5. Spectacle: The visual elements of the performance, including sets, costumes, and effects.

From your options, none of them perfectly match Aristotle's original definitions, but the closest relevant elements would be plot, character, and spectacle from various options. However, a complete understanding includes thought and diction as well.
