The correct answer is A. By making it easier for the audience to follow what is happening in the play. In a poem or a play, a syllabic pattern, whether it is stressed or unstressed, is called a meter. Playwrights use meters to emphasize words and expressions through vocal projection which can portray the nature of the play.
