Answer 1

Less exposition is a distinguishing characteristic of one-act plays, as

compared to full-length plays.

Answer: Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

One act play are usually the type of place which are continues in a flow and much shorted. Such plays do not contain more exposition or description of the play. Full length plays on the other hand contains more exposition and are often broken in short scenes.

One act play flows straight without any break, but that’s not the case with full length plays, this is mainly because one act play contains less exposition thus the play is finished in one go.
