on a recorder—a sound, but not in government.
Which tone does the simile “played on his prologue like a child on a recorder” create?
A. It creates a sad, wistful tone by comparing Quince’s performance to a beautiful tune.
B. It creates a humorous tone by comparing Quince’s performance to a child playing an instrument badly.
C. It creates a relaxed tone by comparing Quince’s performance to lovely recorder music.
D. It creates a surprised tone by comparing Quince’s performance to an eloquent speech by a government official.

The best answer is B. When Hyppolyta says these words, she is poking fun at Quince's talent -- or lack thereof -- for playing the recorder. Therefore, the effect is a humorous one, not sad, relaxed, or surprised.
The correct answer is B.) I just took the quiz, hope this helps:)
