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
