Question

From the passage, the play appears to be

• A. a tragedy
• B. a comedy
• C. a farce
• D. a satire

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

a comedy

The passage is extracted from a comedy. This is most evident by Jacques's speech and the overall lighthearted tone of the passage. From the passage, we can conclude that it is not a tragedy as there's nothing tragic happening; it has no elements of a tragedy, it is definitely not mocking to criticize anything and there is no buffoonery about a ludicrous situation going on. So, the answer is option B.
