Answer 2

The plays and dramas are directed for stage performances by actors and recite their scripted dialogues to entertain audiences.

The correct options are 1. his left, 2. False, 3. A poison.

The options are explained as:

1. If an actor is directed to move towards the left then he would move towards his left. He will not shift according to the audience point of view as the character and their positions are determined based on actors and not the audience.

The directions are set according to actors and hence he will move towards his left.

2. The night performances were not common in the Globe Theater as it was dangerous to use night lamps and fires as they can cause fire and it would be risky if theatre got consumed in flames.

3. Romeo buys poison from the apothecary. The apothecary was a drug seller and was a poor man, Romeo offered him large money and he agreed with him to sell poison.

Therefore the correct options are 1. his left, 2. False, 3. A poison.
