Answer

performance
B
intermission
C
conclusion
D
opening

Explanation

In the prologue, “two hours’ traffick of our stage” refers to the action or business that will take place during the play. Since the play’s performance lasts about two hours, “performance” best paraphrases the phrase. An intermission is only a break in a performance, not the whole event.
