Question 10 • *HSA 26-27 English IV A -IC

dia- = "with"log = "word"pro- = "before"

Answer

Erika wrote a dialogue for the beginning of her book explaining what inspired her to become a novelist.

The prologue between the two main characters on stage provided hints about which one of them had committed the crime.

The prologue in the book club got very heated as the classmates debated which book to read next.

Shelly started a dialogue with her coworkers about how to handle the problems the company was facing.

Explanation

“Dialogue” combines dia- (“with”) and log (“word”), and it means a conversation or exchange of words. Shelly starts a conversation with her coworkers, so choice D uses “dialogue” correctly. A dialogue is not simply an explanation written at the beginning of a book, and a prologue is an introductory section that comes before the main work—not a conversation between characters or a heated book-club debate.
