Which of the following is a distinguishing characteristic of one-act plays, as compared to full-length plays? A. Starting in the middle of the action B. Less exposition C. A slower pace D. Less reliance on dialogue

B. Less exposition. One-act plays are most often shorter and more concise than full-length plays. As such, they tend to be faster-paced, and move through the exposition, development, climax, and denouement much faster. Therefore, one-act plays tend to have less exposition than full-length plays.
