Name a sketch that happened on the semi-permanent stage.

• A. John Mulaney was slimed during Season 47 in a Kids' Choice Awards sketch
• B. Taylor Swift performed a ballad on the main stage
• C. A weather segment in the Weekend Update
• D. A desk-bound interview with a guest

Answer: (A)

Staging and where a sketch happens is what this is testing. The semi-permanent stage is a fixed secondary performance area used for certain sketches that don’t fit the main stage’s big-number energy. A Kids' Choice Awards parody with John Mulaney, described as a sketch on Season 47, fits that setup neatly because it’s framed as a distinct sketch on that secondary stage rather than a centerpiece on the main stage. That’s why it’s the best choice for a sketch that happened on the semi-permanent stage. The other options describe moments tied to the main stage or to the Weekend Update desk, which are different parts of the set. A ballad on the main stage happens on the primary space, and weather or desk interviews on Weekend Update are tied to that segment’s specific area. Those aren’t described as taking place on the semi-permanent stage.
