Read the following excerpt from an original drama.
Public library. Late afternoon. A CHILD whispers loudly; RAE, the librarian, approaches with a finger to her lips. The child’s father, SIMON, types on a laptop.
RAE: Sir. The quiet zone.
SIMON (without looking up): He’s just excited.
CHILD: Look! Dinosaurs!
RAE: Dinosaurs can be quiet.
SIMON: He can’t.
RAE (kneels to the child): Can you try?
SIMON (finally looks up): This place is a museum.
RAE (stands, gentle but firm): This place is a refuge.
Which choice best describes the function of the contrast between “This place is a museum” and “This place is a refuge”?
