Bertold Brecht's alienation effect was designed so that theater audiences could:.a) avoid being absorbed in the experience and miss the important political point of theater. b) reject ideas of playwrights that might be bad for their character. c) reject silly songs and zany behavior so that they could focus on the important work of theater. d) become absorbed emotionally in the horrors of the play.

The correct answer is letter A
