• A. Pantomime
• B. Prologue
• C. Joruri
• D. Sides

Answer: (A)

Nonverbal storytelling through the body is being tested here. Pantomime is a form of performance that relies on gesture, facial expression, and movement rather than spoken words to convey characters, actions, and emotions. It’s essentially mime brought into theatre, where the audience follows the story through physicality and timing, often with only sound effects or music rather than dialogue. The other terms don’t fit this description. A prologue is the introductory part of a play usually delivered in words. Joruri is a Japanese puppet theatre with narration and spoken or chanted lines. Sides are the abbreviated scripts actors receive for auditions or rehearsals. So pantomime best matches a presentation that communicates entirely through movement without speech.
