    B. As in most traditional plays, the plot of act 1 of Beyond the Horizon is designed to provide exposition and build up the tension of the play.

    Explanation:

    Option B is correct, as there is exposition of the play's main themes

    a) The urge to follow one's dreams

    b) The complex father/son relation

    c) Husband/wife relation

    d) Love triangle of Robert Mayo, Andrew Mayo, and Ruth Atkins.

    Act 1 also serves as an exposition to the main internal conflicts of the play among following one's dreams, desires, and destiny and external conflict between father and son.

    Option A is not correct because Act 1 of "Beyond the Horizon" is not just a short prologue, but rising action or exposition of the play.

    Option C is not correct, as neither in most traditional plays nor in "Beyond the Horizon" is the main conflict brought to a head.

    Option D is not correct because in "Beyond the Horizon" Act 1 is just exposition of the internal and external conflicts of the play - we are nowhere near the resolution of the conflicts.
