multiple - choice question\nwhat are the two main parts of dialogue?\nsymbols\nan event\na speech tag\na…

Brief Explanations:

Dialogue in literature consists of two main components. A speech tag (e.g., "he said", "she exclaimed") indicates who is speaking. A character's exact words (enclosed in quotation marks) are what the character utters. Symbols are more related to representing ideas in a text, not dialogue structure. An event is a happening in a story's plot, not a part of dialogue.

Answer:

C. a speech tag, D. a character's exact words
