Over 85%. There is a small scenelet at the end of Act IV Scene v (often cut) between Peter and the musicians which is in prose. The beginning of Act I Scene i up to the entrance of Montague is also in prose.
Peter jokes with the musicians in Act 4 Scene 5. The jokes were probably funny then, but seem pretty lame now. We know it was intended to be comic relief because in one early printing of the play, the actor's name Kempe (Will Kempe, the comedian) is inserted instead of the character's name Peter.
The musicians and clown are used first for comic relief and later for foreshadowing.
It's called comic relief. Shakespeare almost always gave a bit for the comedian and it was always at a very dark part of the play, whether the comedian was a drunken porter, a gravedigger, or, as here, a foolish servant. It tended to relieve the tension a bit for a short while, making it easier to take the misery that follows. Othello has no comic relief and it is very difficult and dark.

Absolutely! If you are in a school band, check out the upperclassmen and watch how they act. Most likely if you watch them at a school concert, you will notice that they don't talk in between songs, and they don't act goofy. They show leadership to their section and are dedicated to practice and effort and making themselves the best musicians they can be. Please ignore the strikethrough...
Yes, in a debate or argument, refutation is the act of proving an argument or statement to be false. Rebuttal is the act of responding to an argument or criticism to challenge its validity. Both terms involve responding to an opposing viewpoint.
Rowing could be an argument between two people. Or it could be the act of using oars to propel a rowing boat across the surface of water.
