Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

 Surprise, contrast, and incongruityAlthough the unexpected is often a central dramatic element in all kinds of plays, when the element of surprise opposes all expectations, contrasts with what we anticipate, or seems out of place or out of character, a serious situation can turn comic.
 ExaggerationThe comic lens exaggerates characters, actions, language, voices, emotions, and situations. Parody is the exaggerated imitation of individuals or artistic styles to make them appear ludicrous.
 ObsessionOften a comic situation arises when a character pursues a single desire.
 SlapstickIncludes knockabout humorchases, pratfalls, collisions, comic beatings, or semi-acrobatic feats and practical jokes.
 TransgressionHumor that violates social taboos or moral and religious values such as scatological or bathroom humor, or sexual jokes.
 Languagehumorous language includes punsplays on words, jokes, understatement, sarcasm, witty repartee, and sometimes-nonsensical exchanges. Often comedy is found in the misuse of language, such as mistakes in pronunciation or grammar, peculiar accents, and malapropismsthe ludicrous misuse of words, often by confusing them with similar sounding ones.
