Question

1. read this line from scene 1.

nico: (to himself) oh, no!
those are my friends, marlon
and ajay! i never told them
about this job, and theyll make
fun of me for having to wear this
costume. i have to find a place to
hide!
what technique does the author use to
reveal what nico is thinking?
a. aside
b. dialogue
c. foreshadowing
d. soliloquy

Explanation:

An aside is a dramatic technique where a character speaks directly to the audience or to themselves, unheard by other characters, to reveal their inner thoughts. Nico's line is marked as (to himself), which fits the definition of an aside. Dialogue involves conversation between characters, foreshadowing hints at future events, and a soliloquy is a longer speech where a character reveals their thoughts alone on stage, which does not match this short, self-directed line.

Answer:

A. aside
