Read the excerpt from Blanca Flor.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Words that indicate speech, such as “asked” and “said”.

Explanation:

The story of Blanca Flor revolves around the two protagonists Juanito and Blaca Flor who escaped the magic domain of Don Ricardo. Blanca Flor helped Juanito escape the evil man with the assistance of her own magical abilities.

The two given versions of the same scene show Don Ricardo being given the freshly baked loaf of bread by Juanito. The first is the play version while the second part is the narrative adaptation. And while there is not much difference between the two versions, there is one such point where their difference can be detected. It is the use of words such as "asked" and "said" that indicates speech in the two characters, which is not present in the play/ drama version.  

Thus, the correct answer is the last/ fourth option.
