1 answer

The correct answer is A. Plot, Character, Setting, imagery, allegory.

However, it's worth noting that traditionally, Aristotle's key elements of drama are often outlined as Plot, Character, Theme, Diction (Language), Music, and Spectacle. Based on the options provided, option A is the most aligned, though it mixes elements like imagery and allegory, which are not directly mentioned by Aristotle in his Poetics. The primary categories from Aristotle’s perspective are more focused on plot, character, and the overall narrative structure rather than the specific terms used in the options.
