NeX [460]

Answer:

Explanation:

The best way to write the stage directions is option b. Martha (looking bewildered and taking a long pause before speaking) Josh. What can I say about Josh?

Stage directions are the instructions or information about a scene of a play. These stage directions are included in the script to tell how the actors will enter or act, what is to happen to them in the scene, how to behave, etc.

In the given scenario of a play where Martha has to say something about her best friend Josh, the stage direction can be used to talk about her behavior while having to give the speech.

Most stage directions are put within parenthesis as and when they will occur.

Also, stage directions are an added detail for readers to imagine how the particular character behaves to provide a better understanding of the scene.

By putting Martha's behavior and shy demeanor within parenthesis, the stage direction provides the perfect information about her.

Thus, the correct way of writing the stage direction for Martha's shy demeanor is option b.
