Answer 1

The stage direction "Silence" is used to show that the characters are not comfortable with each other, as shown in option B.

We can arrive at this answer because:

• The repetition of the stage direction "Silence" is used to show how the communication between characters is not happening fluidly.

• The characters are hesitating to speak and for that reason, the silence continues to settle between them.

This kind of silence and hesitation are introduced to show the discomfort and lack of harmony between the characters.
