Question

Read the beginning of "The Selfish Giant" by Oscar Wilde.

Every afternoon, as they were coming from school, the children used to go and play in the Giant’s garden.

It was a large lovely garden, with soft green grass. Here and there over the grass stood beautiful flowers like stars, and there were twelve peach-trees that in the spring-time broke out into delicate blossoms of pink and pearl, and in the autumn bore rich fruit. The birds sat on the trees and sang so sweetly that the children used to stop their games in order to listen to them. “How happy we are here!” they cried to each other.

One day the Giant came back. He had been to visit his friend the Cornish ogre, and had stayed with him for seven years. After the seven years were over he had said all that he had to say, for his conversation was limited, and he determined to return to his own castle. When he arrived he saw the children playing in the garden.

“What are you doing here?” he cried in a very gruff voice, and the children ran away.

Answer 2

The dialogs are shown in paragraphs 2 and 4.

With that, we can say that the last answer option is the correct answer.

We can define the term dialogue as follows:

• Sentences that show the characters are saying something.

• A conversation between two or more characters.

When characters in a story are talking or conversing, the sentence is marked with quotation marks ("") that signal that the character is communicating.

In this case, we can see that, in the text presented in the question above, there are dialogues in the second and fourth paragraph, as it is in these paragraphs that the characters communicate.
