Answer 1

The main difference between a monologue and a soliloquy is that **in a soliloquy, the speaker assumes they cannot be heard**. A soliloquy is typically a speech where a character expresses their thoughts and feelings while alone on stage, not intending to interact with other characters. In contrast, a monologue can be directed to other characters or an audience and may advance the plot by revealing more about the speaker or the situation. Therefore, the correct option is: **In a soliloquy, the speaker assumes they cannot be heard.**
