In a two-column script format, the left column typically contains

• A. Outline
• B. Dialogue
• C. Sound cues
• D. Character names

Answer: (A)

In two-column script formatting, the left column is used to lay out the plan of the scene—the Outline. This is where you describe what happens, where it happens, and the sequence of actions or events to guide how the scene should unfold. The right column is where the actual spoken content lives, including Dialogue and any accompanying cues tied to that dialogue (such as sound cues or character names). So the left column contains the Outline because its purpose is to map the scene's structure and visuals, not to present the spoken lines. The other options don’t fit because Dialogue and Character names belong in the right column, and Sound cues are typically attached to the dialogue there rather than in the left-hand outline.
