Answer:
The answer is that my understanding was false.
Explanation:
The word alienated specifically refers to a social condition in which someone feels left out or distanced from a group of people in a work environment.

Your first option, "I have taken all the stress I can stand.", is a line of dialogue.
Dialogue is speaking/talking. The second and last options cannot be examples of dialogue because they are not being spoken (you can tell by the lack of quotation marks).The third option is also incorrect because it is what is written, as it says "the study reported" (the study does not speak). Therefore, the first option is correct.
