Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
The purpose of using drama or role-play in teaching is to help learners emotionally connect with different characters, situations, and perspectives. Through drama, students develop empathy (samanubhūti) — they learn to understand and feel what the character experiences, thereby gaining deeper insight into human behavior and emotions.
