单选题 The play Metamorphoses was successful because ______.

A、 it was based on Ovid's work written in 7 A,D
B、 people were impressed by the ability to transform
C、 people were touched by what it depicts
D、 the world seems increasingly out of control

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[解析] 第四段谈到Mary Zimmerman的戏剧Metamorphoses在世贸中心遭袭击后不到一个月的时候在百老汇上演。观众被其中对于爱、死亡、人性的达观的刻画深深感动。但其成功的根本原因，本段倒数第二句Wamer指出这类作品在动荡的时代最能够引起人内心的共鸣，故答案选D项。A项与戏剧的成功没有直接的关系；B项文中没有提到。
