Answer

Brief Explanations:

Stage directions are part of a play's script. They give instructions about the setting, actions of characters, and elements like sound effects. They don't tell the audience when to applaud (that's not their role), don't summarize the play (the play itself does that through dialogue and action), and while they can have elements that might be part of a scene that scares, foreshadowing events to scare the audience isn't a typical main function. Describing sound effects (e.g., "A loud crash is heard off - stage") is a common stage direction.

Answer:

B. Describe sound effects.
