The answer is: Impersonating and remaining silent.
In the passage, the narrator describes Tom Stoppard's play "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead." Both originally Shakespearean characters from "Hamlet," Stoppard develops them further in their own play, in which they "pass the time by impersonating other characters" and "remaining silent for long periods of time."

"The sun burned scarlet as her and i strolled through Central park." This is the most vivid answer out of the rest. It uses great IMAGERY because of the detail and use of words. Instead of it just being a red sun, it is a sun that "burned scarlet". Hope this helped! <3
Suspense so my guess is C
