1. Where would you usually watch a play?

Explanation

The correct answer is The Theatre. This is because traditionally, plays are performed in theaters.

It provides a stage for actors to perform and seating for the audience to watch the play. The theater often has specific features like a proscenium arch, curtains, and lighting equipment to enhance the performance.

2. What do you call people watching a play?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Audience". In the context of a play, the term "audience" refers to the group of people who are watching the performance. They are the spectators who are present to observe and enjoy the play. "Attendance" is a more general term that refers to being present at an event, but it doesn't specifically imply watching a play. "Assemble" means to gather or come together, and "A Pride" is not a commonly used term to describe people watching a play.
