@Myschool, please, review the your answer. The correct option is C, not A.
The passage emphasises the use of foreign languages by playright which which are not understood by many Africans. It stresses how the use of foreign languages serves as an impediment to the popularity of African theatre.
To "move down" to the level of his community or audience, therefore, means to use a language that is most appreciated or understood by the people.
Being simplistic in the use of language passes a different message. It would mean using the same foreign languages but in a simpler way. However, the passage does not mention that lack of simplicity in the use of language is the problem. It says the choice of language (foreign languages) is the problem.
