Metonymy is a literary device that uses a <u>specific word</u> (especially a noun) in exchange of a term that represents an <u>idea or an objec</u>t. Metonymy is an example of the use of <u>figurative language</u>, which can enrich the meaning and literary style of a work.  

An example of <u>metonymy</u> would be:  

I have devoted my <em>soul</em> to you. The word <u><em>soul</em></u>, not only representing the original concept but the act of fully committing to someone.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Setting of the scene include additional information about where and when the action takes place. They are added to the dialogue in the script and are written in brackets.

We could also say that it consists of all information and details, other than the dialogue itself.

Now, we only need to read the text carefully again.

1) Since Frank and Ann came into Darcy's room, we would write it as [ENTER FRANK AND ANN].

2) Frank asked for keys, so we would write [FRANK:] Darcy, do you have the keys?

3) Darcy don't know the exact location of the keys, so she checks her pockets first, before going out of the room to find them:

Darcy: [searching her pockets] I left them upstairs. Wait here for a minute. [exit Darcy.]
