Question

Which option shows the text signaling the sequence of events?

"At the start of the reign the majority of productions are miracle plays . . ."
". . . a prompter goes to each actor in turn and whispers his speech to him, line by line."
". . . people increasingly choose to see secular plays on historical and moral themes."
"If there are any female parts, these are played by boys dressed as women."

Answer 1

The second option: ". . . a prompter goes to each actor in turn and whispers his speech to him, line by line."

Explanation: "in turn" and "line by line" explicitly indicate a sequence (one after another). The others show time ("At the start of the reign"), trend ("increasingly"), or condition ("If there are any…").
