Question

Which of the following choices states a difference between dialogue and formal speech?

Answer 1

I think it's A but not very sure

Answer 2

Answer:

The right answer is A. Dialogue is more likely to contain sentence fragments.

Explanation:

Dialogue represents a conversation between two or more people in writing. Thus, it will contain sentence fragments that express the speakers' ideas and feelings. For example:

- How's it goin'?

- Hm, well, not too bad ya know!

Though this is a very informal example, it shows the way people express themselves in spoken language.

Formal speech, on the other hand, is well prepared and written form of expression. It contains a topic and it written in advance making sure the word choice and grammar are proper.
