Even without a line in bold, we can conclude that "The way the characters are represented in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is similar to a style of..."

What is the passage about?

The passage is about a play called "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead." The author of the passage explains two facts about the play:

  • First, the characters of the play were taken from Shakespeare's "Hamlet," another play in which they are minor characters.
  • Second, the style of the play is based on the style of theater of "Waiting for Godot." That includes the dialogue and the behavior of the characters.

Therefore, even though we do not know what the line in bold is, we can easily conclude that the passage states the way the characters are represented in "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" is similar to a style of theater also seen in the play "Waiting for Godot."

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that option B is the correct answer.

The missing passage for this question is the following:

Tom Stoppard's play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, draws on two previous theatrical works: Shakespeare's Hamlet and Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead follows the "off-stage" exploits of two minor characters from Hamlet, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. While the two main characters in Stoppard's play occasionally make brief appearances in "Hamlet," as scripted in Shakespeare's original tragedy, the majority of the play takes place in other parts of the castle where Hamlet is set. While "off stage" in this way, the characters resemble the main characters in the absurdist Waiting for Godot. As in Beckett's play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern pass the time by impersonating other characters, engaging in word play, and remaining silent for long periods of time. These same two characters were also featured in a parody of Hamlet, the short comic play by W. S. Gilbert entitled Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Gilbert's play makes Rosencrantz and Guildenstern into central characters and alters the storyline of Hamlet.
