HALE. Well, my first thought was to get that rope off. I looked . . . (Stops, his face twitches.) . . . but Harry, he went up to him, and he said, “No, he’s dead all right, and we’d better not touch anything.” How does the use of the word “twitches” in the stage direction most affect this scene?

This question is missing the options. I've found them online. They are the following:

Explanation:

In this excerpt from the play Trifles, by Susan Glaspell, Harry and Hale have found Mr. Wright's body. The stage direction, combined with Hale's speech, shows that death is a difficult subject for him. He is simply explaining what he first thought of doing once they found the body. But, just at the mere memory of looking at the body, Mr. Hale's face twitches. That stage direction is given purposefully, to make it clear to readers/the audience that seeing Mr. Wright, dead, bothered Hale.

he gives his freedom of speach

explanation:

idk tbh because i'm just getting points.
