Explanation:

In drama, starting with a fight is a common way to introduce conflict right away, which is a central - element in storytelling. It grabs the audience's attention and sets the tone for the rest of the play. Scaring the audience is not the main purpose. Hiding the play's meaning or distracting from the storyline are also not the typical reasons for starting with a fight.

Answer:

B. To reveal the conflict immediately.
