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

a. dialogue is more likely to contain sentence fragments.
b. dialogue is usually more focused on abstract ideas.
c. formal speech is more likely to contain errors.
d. formal speech is usually friendlier in tone.

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.

making a claim is just a fancy way of saying that you're stating your main point.' claims are not just opinions. a claim tells what you think is true about a topic based on your knowledge .

about the country claims : -

a counterclaim is just the opposite of a claim. counterclaims are also provable and supportable by reasons and evidence. not just, 'because i said so.' when you're planning an argument, you need to know what the counterclaim might be so that you can make sure that you disprove it with your reasons and evidence your research." - (catherineroberts)
