Answer:

B-They reinforce the traditions of realism.

C-They provide the audience with privileged information.

D- They form a connection between the actors and the audience.

Explanation:

An aside occurs when a character speaks on stage, but is not heard by the other actors present in the scene. Most of the time, asides occur because a character wants to give the audience information that the other characters of the play do not possess. Therefore, the audience receives privileged information. Due to this process, a connection is formed between the actors and the audience. Both of these purposes are important in Our Town. The third purpose that the aside fulfills in the play is that of reinforcing the traditions of realism.
