Explanation: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is a tragicomedy written by the British playwright Tom Stoppard. This play includes two characters taken from Hamlet. Moreover, mit also presents elements from another famous play: Beckett's Waiting for Godot. Therefore, the two main characters spend their time imitating other people and playing with words; however, in some cases, they also remain silent for long periods of time. In that way, the sentence that indicates what the central characters do in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead is the second one ("As in Beckett's play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern pass the time by impersonating other characters, engaging in word play, and remaining silent for long periods of time").
