The correct response is:

U.S. soap operas have stories that continue indefinitely; telenovelas are complete stories.

This highlights a major difference in structure between U.S. soap operas and Spanish-language telenovelas. Telenovelas typically have a defined beginning and end, often resolved within a specific time frame, while soap operas may go on for years without a clear conclusion.
