Answer 1

Answer:

B. Waiting for Godot

Waiting for Godot is subtitled 'A tragicomedy in two acts,' reflecting its blend of tragic and comedic elements. This sub-titling is important as it provides a lens through which audiences and critics can approach the play's themes of existentialism, meaninglessness, and the human condition. The play's structure, characters, and dialogue all contribute to this unique tragicomic experience.
