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

  1. Plot
  2. Character
  3. Thought (or Theme)
  4. Diction (or Language)
  5. Spectacle

Given the options, none of them exactly match Aristotle's definitions, but the closest option that would align with his elements is:

plot, character, tension, language, spectacle

However, please note that "tension" is not one of Aristotle's original elements; "thought" would be the more accurate term.
