(MC)You are watching a film that is making you laugh. The film features many situations the actors are falling down or running into things in humorous ways. What genre of film are you likely watching? A romantic comedy A slapstick comedy A buddy comedy A physical comedy

B. A slapstick comedy

Explanation:

Let's define each of the terms in the answers:

A. "Romantic comedy"

A rom-com is a type of comedy that includes romance in its plot. Nowhere in the description of the film does it mention love or romance, so eliminate A.

B. "Slapstick comedy"

A slapstick comedy is a type of comedy that over-exaggerates the physical activity of the characters. So, here, we see actors purposely falling down or running into things in "humorous ways", and those are examples of such over-exaggeration that characterises slapstick comedy. So B is the answer.

C. "Buddy comedy"

A buddy comedy is a type of comedy where two characters with totally different personalities are paired together to solve a crime or mystery. Here, nothing points to characters of opposing dispositions, so eliminate C.

D. "Physical comedy"

A physical comedy is when characters use their body parts for humour. It includes slapstick comedy. While here, the actors are using their bodies in physical actions, D isn't as specific as B. So eliminate D.

The answer is thus B.
