Question

what does \diction\ mean in these sentences? josé carreras, the famous opera singer, practices diction daily. \i work to say each word exactly right,\ says carreras. the act of doing something over again; the act of pronouncing clearly; playing music for others; sending music to others

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "diction" in the sentence, we analyze the context. José Carreras, an opera singer, says he works to "say each word exactly right" when practicing diction. The option "the act of pronouncing clearly" aligns with this context as pronouncing words exactly right relates to clear pronunciation. The other options ("the act of doing something over again", "playing music for others", "sending music to others") do not match the context of saying words correctly.

Answer:

the act of pronouncing clearly
