Question

question 9
one of the main characteristics of comedy is that actions do not have the consequences that they do in real life. this characteristic is known as:
○ a. suspension of natural laws
○ b. the comic premise
○ c. the contrast between social order and the individual
○ d. suspension of physics

Explanation:

• The comic premise in comedy allows for actions to have different consequences than in real - life.
• Suspension of natural laws is too broad and not the specific term for this comedic characteristic.
• The contrast between social order and the individual is a different comedic element, not related to action - consequence disparity.
• Suspension of physics is an incorrect and too narrow term (comedy's action - consequence aspect is not just about physical laws in the strict scientific sense).

Answer:

B. the comic premise
