Passage Summary: Good acting shouldn't break the illusion of the play. If it does, the audience struggles to feel for the characters, and a good play shouldn't do anything that makes the audience enjoy it less.

Conclusion: Effective acting performances avoid reminding the audience that they are watching a performance.

Reasoning: Reminding the audience of the performance hinders their ability to empathize with characters, and effective performances do not reduce the audience's appreciation of the play.

Analysis: The argument has a logical gap between 'difficulty empathizing' and 'detracting from appreciation.' The author assumes that if an audience finds it harder to empathize with a character, they will necessarily appreciate the play less. To make this conclusion follow logically, we need a bridge that turns 'harder to empathize' into 'detracts from appreciation.' Look for an answer that guarantees that any reduction in empathy constitutes a reduction in the overall quality or appreciation of the performance.
