Act Three begins how many hours after Act Two ends?

• A. Two
• B. One
• C. Three
• D. Zero

Answer: (B)

The timing is shown through the stage directions between acts. Act Three begins one hour after Act Two ends, so the play moves forward in a short, explicit time jump. This quick transition keeps the momentum going and places the characters in essentially the same moment of emotional tension, just a bit later, which helps heighten the stakes as the final events unfold. The other options don’t fit because the text indicates only a short, one-hour passage of time, not two, three, or no time at all.
