Question

Identify the one-word substitute for a concluding speech or comment at the end of the play:

• A. Ephemeral
• B. Crusade
• C. Indelible
• D. Epilogue

Hint:

An "epilogue" concludes a play or book, while a "prologue" introduces it. Think: E for End, P for Prelude.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

An epilogue is a speech, passage, or section that comes at the end of a literary work, especially a play, to conclude or comment on what has happened.
It serves as a final statement that reflects on the narrative or future of the characters. Let’s examine the other options:
(A) \textit{Ephemeral} – Means short-lived or fleeting; not related to a play’s ending.

(B) \textit{Crusade} – Refers to a vigorous campaign or movement; unrelated to theatre.

(C) \textit{Indelible} – Means something that cannot be erased; not a speech or literary device.

(D) Epilogue – Correct; it is the closing speech or written conclusion of a play or book.
