The cast appears at the end of a play for the ___________-

Analyze the question: It asks what we call the moment when the cast appears at the end of a play. The blank is probably meant to read "the __," which refers to the cast's final appearance on stage.

Explain the concept: In drama, several terms describe parts of a performance:

• Curtain call: The actors come back on stage at the end of the performance to take a bow and receive applause from the audience.
• Intermission (interval): A break in the middle of a play, when the audience rests and the cast does not take a bow.
• Introduction: The opening of a play, which may include a prologue or the setting up of the story.
• Musical: A type of play in which songs and dance are central. It is a genre, not a part of a performance.

Step-by-step solution:

1. The question asks about the end of the play, so Introduction (the beginning) is out.
2. Intermission happens in the middle, so it is out too.
3. A musical is a type of play, not a moment in a performance, so it does not fit.
4. The cast appears together at the end to be acknowledged by the audience. This is the curtain call.

Answer: B. Curtain Call.

Tip: Think of "curtain" as the stage's closing signal. The curtain call is the "call" for the cast to come out before the curtain finally closes. In WASSCE Literature, learn terms like prologue, epilogue, soliloquy, aside, intermission and curtain call in groups by where they happen in a play: beginning, middle or end.
