Read the paragraph.Slapstick is also known as physical comedy, meaning it has more actions than words. Most people think of slapstick as people hitting one another and then falling down, much like the style of The Three Stooges®. What they do not always know is that slapstick comedians are masters of timing, with a flair for the dramatic. They create the illusion of hitting and falling, without causing injury to the performers. They stay safe while the audience laughs hysterically.

a diagram of how The Three Stooges® perform a physical comedy stunt
a
a photo of The Three Stooges® after a comedy show
a
a flow chart identifying the different types of comedy
a
a bar graph of the amount of laughter at different types of comedy shows

Explanation

The paragraph explains how slapstick performers create the illusion of hitting and falling while staying safe. A diagram showing how The Three Stooges® perform a physical comedy stunt would best help readers understand that process. A photo, flow chart of comedy types, or graph of audience laughter would not explain how the stunt is done.
