Verified Answer :

Answer: B. the device of mistaken identity.

Explanation: 7.2 in Shakespeare’s work bottom section.

In his comedies, Shakespeare often employs two interesting devices:

Mistaken identity. Either characters aren’t what they seem to be (appearing in disguise), or they mistake the identity of others (due to a spell, for example, as you’ll see in A Midsummer Night’s Dream).

Fool or clown. This character may seem silly or mischievous, but he’s often wiser than some of the more respectable characters in the play.
