The correct answer is "Prose" because the play is written in ordinary language without any specific meter or rhyme scheme. Prose is the most common form of writing and is used to convey everyday speech and dialogue. In contrast, metrical verse refers to poetry that follows a specific pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables, either in hexameter (six feet per line) or pentameter (five feet per line). Since the play is not written in a specific metrical pattern, the answer is "Prose".

Bluntschli uses a cloak as a weapon against Raina. Although it may seem unconventional, a cloak can be used as a weapon by wrapping it around an opponent's head or body, restricting their movement and potentially disorienting them. It can also be used to distract or confuse the opponent, creating an opportunity for Bluntschli to escape or gain the upper hand in a confrontation.
