Question 11 • TPS EdX English Language Arts 11

Which excerpt from Trifles contains a stage direction?

Answer
A
SHERIFF (looking about) : It’s just the same.
B
COUNTY ATTORNEY: Somebody should have been left here yesterday.
C
HALE: Well, she looked queer.
D
MRS. HALE: Well, I don’t know as Wright had, either.

Explanation

A stage direction describes an action or behavior rather than spoken dialogue. In choice A, “(looking about)” tells the actor what the sheriff is doing, so it is a stage direction. The other choices contain only spoken lines.
