Answer 1

In deciding which statements from "Monster" belong in the screenplay and not in the diary, consider the nature of each statement. The ones that depict concrete actions, visual elements, or involve other characters typically fit the screenplay format, while introspective thoughts and personal reflections are more suited for a diary.

Belong in the screenplay:

1. There are sounds of inmates.
2. Steve is carrying a notebook.
3. A guard sits at a desk behind Steve.

Belong in the diary:

1. I wonder if I will look like myself.
2. I think I could get used to this.

So, the statements that belong in the screenplay are:

• There are sounds of inmates.
• Steve is carrying a notebook.
• A guard sits at a desk behind Steve.
