Question

Which statement is true about dialogue in short stories?

Because dialogue takes up a lot of space, it should be avoided in short stories.

Dialogue using the character's own words is one way a writer can show rather than tell readers what a character is like.

Dialogue involves summarizing what characters say to help the story move along more quickly.

Writers should look for opportunities to tell what a character is like through description rather than show through the use of dialogue.

Answer 1

I believe that it is the 2nd one

Explanation: Since in writing in short storys the author needs to keep it a short reading, it is easier and better to understand a character by judgeing them by their actions and words. In short storys the diologe is usually not that long, but it is still used to tell the story.

I hope this helped. This question is kind of confusing

Good luck :)
