Stage Set: Near a football stadium. The stage lights up to reveal a big hole in the middle. The audience can hear the sounds of thunder and see glimpses of lightning. Carlos and Dante enter from the stage right. CARLOS:Well, I am glad we talked.

DANTE:Definitely, pal.

CARLOS:I mean—we all know you are the best out there. Who was I kidding asking coach to give me your spot?

DANTE:Hey, you are as good as me, pal.

CARLOS:Nah. Everyone must know their place. I do appreciate your taking it coolly, buddy.

DANTE:Hey, we are friends. We get through differences. Alright. I have to get some sleep for the big game. Adios! (walks in the direction of the hole)

Which of these is true about this play?

A. The knowledge that only the audience has creates suspense.

Explanation:

In the stage direction, we, the audience are told or shown there's a huge hole in the middle of the stage. This is not known by the two characters Carlos and Dante.

So, after Dante bids "Adios!" to Carlos and moves towards the hole, there is suspense in that there is a hole in the direction of his way. And we, the readers, have a feeling that danger is there which Carlos nor Dante knows about. The knowledge that only the readers know creates suspense in the play.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
