Question

Which of the following is a line of dialogue? "The jurors may now take their seats," the bailiff said. According to the report, there were "several individuals" on the street. I have thought many times that we cannot possibly win. Give the documents to your neighbor as you finish.

Answer 1

"The jurors may now take their seats,"

Answer 2

The correct answer is
"The jurors may now take their seats,"

This is dialogue because a dialogue is when people in plays or books or poems talk to each other. The rest of the passage is just descriptions of what is happening and there's no people talking to each other, which means that this is the only correct option.
