The analogy compares a creator to the form of literature they produce.

The analogy compares a creator to the form of literature they produce.
A novelist writes prose (novels are a form of prose).
We need to find who writes drama.

Let's examine the options:

• A. playwright: A playwright is a person who writes plays, and plays are a form of drama. This fits the analogy.
• B. producer: A producer manages the production of a play or film, but does not write the drama.
• C. prompter: A prompter helps actors remember their lines during a performance, but does not write the drama.
• D. script writer: A script writer writes scripts for various media, including plays, films, and television. While a playwright writes a script, "playwright" is the specific term for someone who writes drama for the stage.
• E. stage manager: A stage manager is responsible for the technical and organizational aspects of a theatrical production, but does not write the drama.

The most precise equivalent to a novelist for drama is a playwright.

The correct option is A.

A. playwright
