It’s c because I took the test earlier that day and I got it right
Hello. You didn't say which play or book this question refers to, which makes it impossible for me to point out the scenes in which Dillard uses his fingers to emphasize a thought.
However, to try to help you, I can say that you should look for the scenes in which Dillard uses gesticulation along with the argument of adopting unknown religion and ways of life. That's because gesticulation is the action that allows the use of body parts to emphasize a spoken idea.
The purposes of comic relief would be A. And D. Adding comic relief to a story can ease the tension of the story, and there should be a balance between seriousness and comedy.
The other options may work for CERTAIN stories, but not the general idea of the concept.
I hope this helps you!
D is the answer it’s not the 1st one because there is nothing about temperature
