Question

Please help

A prince had some monkeys trained to dance. They were great at copying men's actions. They were very good students. When dressed in their rich clothes and masks, they danced as well as any of the courtiers. People believed they were human dancers. The dance was often repeated to great applause. That is until a mischievous courtier took a handful of nuts and threw them upon the stage. At the sight of the nuts, the monkeys forgot their dancing. They became (as indeed they were) monkeys instead of actors. They pulled off their masks and began tearing their robes. They fought one another for the nuts. The dancing came to an end among the laughter and anger of the audience.

B

Step-by-step explanation:

As the passage states, they danced as well as any of their courtiers and were dressed in rich clothes and masks people said they believed they were human dancers, but then a mischievous courtier took a handful of nuts then threw it on stage, then the monkeys started fighting and forgot their dancing, and they ripped off their rich clothes, so what happened during the end was that the audience thought they were just normal dancers, but when they started fighting and ripping their clothes off, the people realized they weren't like they thought they would be.
