Question

Which two elements are needed for readers to understand any passage of dialogue?

a tag phrase

transition words

question marks

quotation marks

Answer 1

Quotation marks are essential for readers to understand any passage of dialogue, as they indicate the beginning and end of the spoken words. Additionally, a tag phrase (such as "he said" or "she asked") helps clarify who is speaking and can enhance comprehension. Therefore, the two elements needed are:

1. Quotation marks
2. A tag phrase

However, if you must choose only two from the original options, **quotation marks** would be the most crucial element.
