Which is a line of dialogue? "give me back that notebook," she said. "this data supports our conclusion," the article states. the long drive became even longer with the storm. she said an item of value was missing from her safe.

The correct answer is A. "Give me back that notebook," she said.

Explanation:

In narrative texts, dialogue refers to a conversation between two or more characters. This can be identified because the words of characters are enclosed in quotations (") and after this it is common to find expression such as she/he said, comment, claim, etc which makes dialogue different to quotation in formal document in which the words quoted belong to a character, article or document instead of being the words of a character. This means "Give me back that notebook," she said is a line of dialogue because it includes the word of a character that can be identified due to the use of quotations and the expression "she said".

in ray bradbury's short story "a sound of thunder", mr. eckels's fearfulness leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

in the story, mr. eckels, who is a hunter, hires a time travel company to travel to the age of dinosaurs. although he is excited for the hunting expedition at the beginning, when they reach there and mr. eckels sees the tyrannosaurus, he feels frightened. as he is afraid of the tyrannosaurus, he steps off the path although he has been warned not to do it. by stepping off the path, the entire course of the future is affected: mr. eckart alters the future by stepping on a butterfly, which causes a new man to be elected president in the future. in that way, it is mr. eckart's fearfulness what triggers 'the butterfly effect' and what leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.
