Explanation:

For the "Compare" part, stage directions are descriptions in a drama that tell actors how to move, what to do, etc. In Drama Excerpt 1, we have "(holds up a potted thyme plant)", "(shows off the dill plant)", "(tops fish with a slice of lemon and a sprig of dill)" which are stage directions. For the "Contrast" part, looking at the text of Drama Excerpt 1: "thyme!" - "rhyme", "show" - "grow", "here" - "sear", "sauce" - "toss", "sprig" - "jig" follow a rhyme scheme (a pattern of rhymes at the end of lines). There is no indication of multiple scenes (as it seems to be a continuous cooking - show like scene) or multiple supporting characters (only Chef Herb is really featured prominently in terms of speaking).

Answer:

Compare: stage directions; Contrast: a rhyme scheme
