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.
