Q1
Read the following excerpt from an original drama.
A small church basement during a storm. Folding chairs. A coffee urn. LENA, the group leader, speaks gently; PAUL sits with arms crossed.
LENA: Say what you can. Even if it’s small.
PAUL: I can say my name.
LENA: That’s a start.
PAUL: It’s not a start. It’s a label.
LENA (hands him a paper cup): Drink.
PAUL (doesn’t take it): I’m tired of being poured into.
LENA (setting the cup down between them): Then pour something out.
Which choice best describes the function of the contrast between “I’m tired of being poured into” and “Then pour something out”?
