Question 10 • MO-English Language Arts 11 A
Choice B uses humor by describing how the audience laughed at the show, making the duke angry, and then left before it was over—except for one boy who had fallen asleep. The contrast between the duke’s frustration and the boy’s oblivious nap creates a comic effect. The other excerpts mainly describe attendance or preparation for the show.
