Answer 1

The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be the last option. Dell is most successful at depicting a modern man’s dilemma in part one of King Arthur's Socks: A Comedy in One Act through his portrayal of Lancelot's conflict with work and love. 

Answer 2

King Arthur's Socks: A Comedy in One Act presents a real dilemma common of Dell's own rebellious generation that troubled and delighted him.

It is about a man (Lancelot) and a woman (Guenevere) that are in love but both are married to others. They find themselves fighting agaist their impulse of acting upon their passionate inclinations for each other. Through the act, it is also shown that Lancelot caused other women to fall in love with him, and both women secreted their fellings with Guenevere not knowing she had their same fellings.

When Lancelot and Guenevere talks at the end of the act they both criticize one another because of their behavior almost giving in their passions, but the reason and common sense prevented them from having an affair.

The correct answer is that Dell is most successful at depicting a modern man’s dilemma in part one of King Arthur's Socks: A Comedy in One Act through his portrayal of "Lancelot’s many romantic exploits" ( letter C), though both kept faithful to the stability of their own marriages, not to their passions, giving the characters self-conscious of their society and situation.
