Read paragraphs 8–11 of the text. Then answer the multiple-choice questions that follow. From “Are the New ‘Golden Age’ TV Shows the New Novels?” by Adam Kirsch and Mohsin Hamid 8 Ask novelists whether they spend more time watching TV or reading fiction and prepare yourself to hear them say the unsayable. 9 Movies have always seemed to me a much tighter form of storytelling than novels, requiring greater compression, and in that sense falling somewhere between the short story and the novel in scale. To watch a feature film is to be immersed in its world for an hour and a half, or maybe two, or exceptionally three. A novel that takes only three hours to read would be a short novel indeed, and novels that last five times as long are commonplace. 10 Television is more capacious. Episode after episode, and season after season, a serial drama can uncoil for dozens of hours before reaching its end. Along the way, its characters and plot have room to develop, to change course, to congeal. In its near limitlessness, TV rivals the novel. 11 What once sheltered the novel were differences in the quality of writing. Films could be well written, but they were smaller than novels. TV was big, but its writing was clunky. The novel had “Pride and Prejudice”; TV had “Dynasty.” But television has made enormous leaps in the last decade or so. The writing has improved remarkably, as have the acting, direction and design.

Let's highlight the part that helps us find the

Movies have always seemed to me a much tighter form of storytelling than novels, requiring greater compression, and in that sense falling somewhere between the short story and the novel in scale.”

This passage makes it very clear that movies are greater in scale than short stories, but smaller than novels. With this information in mind, we can easily work with elimination to find our option.

Option A says precisely that. It states that storytelling in movies is smaller in scope than novels, which is correct. We have already found the answer, but let's take a look at the other options.

Option B says movies are more like a short story than a novel, which is not what the evidence says. Movies fall between the two genres; it is not more similar to one than the other. Option C says storytelling is similar in both movies and television, but that is completely unrelated to the evidence we are supposed to analyze. Finally, option D states movies are larger in scale than novels, which is the opposite of what the evidence supports.
