Step-by-step Matching:

1. "the text of the play"
→ This refers to the entire written work that includes dialogue, stage directions, etc.
✔ Script

2. "the words said by the characters"
→ This is the spoken part of the play.
✔ Dialogue

3. "all of the characters, usually portrayed by actors"
→ This is the list of characters in the play.
✔ Cast of Characters

4. "the time and place in the play"
→ This describes where and when the story happens.
✔ Setting

5. "written instructions telling the actors what to do"
→ These are directions like "(Runs off stage)" or "enters slowly."
✔ Stage Directions

6. "the person who tells what happens during the play"
→ This is someone who narrates the story, not necessarily a character in the action.
✔ Narrator

7. "a chapter in a play that contains more than one scene"
→ A major division in a play, often divided into scenes.
✔ Act

8. "the action that takes place in a single setting"
→ A smaller unit within an act, usually focused on one location/time.
✔ Scene
