The answer is A. his embarrassment about the cause of his beloved father's death.
The story revolves around Jerome's father dying because he was crushed by a pig that fell from a balcony. Jerome used to idolize his father, perhaps partially because he also lost his mother when he was very young and his father was the only parent he had. As he grew older, he realized people's reactions to this event was laughter. He became embarrased, and this caused him angst.
Answer:
B. As in most traditional plays, the plot of act 1 of Beyond the Horizon is designed to provide exposition and build up the tension of the play.
Explanation:
Option B is correct, as there is exposition of the play’s main themes;
a) The urge to follow one’s dreams
b) The complex father/son relation
c) Husband/wife relation
d) Love triangle of Robert Mayo, Andrew Mayo, and Ruth Atkins.
Act 1 also serves as an exposition to the main internal conflicts of the play among following one’s dreams, desires, and destiny and external conflict between father and son.
Option A is not correct because Act 1 of “Beyond the Horizon” is not just a short prologue, but rising action or exposition of the play.
Option C is not correct, as neither in most traditional plays nor in “Beyond the Horizon” is the main conflict brought to a head.
Option D is not correct because in “Beyond the Horizon” Act 1 is just exposition of the internal and external conflicts of the play - we are nowhere near the resolution of the conflicts.
