Answer 2

I don't know which words are bolded in these lines, however, I would definitely say that this excerpt shows farce. Farce aims at entertaining the audience by showing weird or improbable scenes. Here Viola is dressed up as a man, and she is talking about herself saying - were I a woman - when she in fact is.
