D would be the best answer for this question
Answer:
Although you have not shown which play you are referring to, we can state that the stage instructions help the reader to understand what is happening, because they show how the character behaves in relation to his personality and posture, in a given situation. Furthermore, when it is stated that the "author is in the shadows" implies that although he has a certain influence, the author is not actively participating in the scene.
Explanation:
Stage instructions are, as the name implies, instructions that the author of a play establishes to show the actors how the character should behave and move in a given situation. The purpose of these instructions is to let the actors know how the message should be conveyed to the audience through the character's movement, facial expression and behavior. These instructions also serve to help readers understand the situation in which the characters are inserted and how it affects them.
When the statement "the author is in the shadows" is provided, it implies that the author is not actually participating in a situation, although he may have some influence.
It’s gonna be B. Had not known mr Elliot long enough to recognize him.
which vexed and embarrassed her, and made her regret that she had said so much,
simple as it was.
Mary, resenting that she should be supposed not to know her own cousin, began talking
very warmly about the family features, and protesting still more positively that it was Mr
Elliot, calling again upon Anne to come and look for herself, but Anne did not mean to stir,
and tried to be cool and unconcerned. Her distress returned, however, on perceiving
smiles and intelligent glances pass between two or three of the lady visitors, as if they
believed themselves quite in the secret. It was evident that the report concerning her had
spread, and a short pause succeeded, which seemed to ensure that it would now spread
farther.
"Do come, Anne" cried Mary, "come and look yourself. You will be too late if you do not
make haste. They are parting; they are shaking hands. He is turning away. Not know Mr
Elliot, indeed! You seem to have forgot all about Lyme."
To pacify Mary, and perhaps screen her own embarrassment, Anne did move quietly to
the window. She was just in time to ascertain that it really was Mr Elliot, which she had
never believed, before he disappeared on one side, as Mrs Clay walked quickly off on the
other; and checking the surprise which she could not but feel at such an appearance of
friendly conference between two persons of totally opposite interest, she calmly said,
"Yes, it is Mr Elliot, certainly. He has changed his hour of going, I suppose, that is all, or I
may be mistaken, I might not attend;" and walked back to her chair, recomposed, and
with the comfortable hope of having acquitted herself well.
From ‘Persuasion’, by Jane Austen.
