Read this excerpt from King Arthur's Socks: A Comedy in One Act.(Enter, from the side door, Mary, the pretty servant girl, who fusses about at the back of the room.)What do the stage directions reveal about Mary?
Answer
A
Her fidgeting suggests that she is nervous about sharing her thoughts.
B
Her efforts illustrate contentment with her social status and her work.
C
Her entry from the side underlines her devious mannerisms.
D
Her apparent beauty implies that her character is a romantic.
Explanation
The direction that Mary “fusses about” suggests she is restless or fidgety, which can indicate nervousness. It does not say she is content with her work, devious, or romantic; “pretty” describes her appearance rather than her character.
