Question

Select the most appropriate word which can substitute the given description:
Speaking aloud while alone.

• A. Prologue
• B. Soliloquy
• C. Dialogue
• D. Epilogue

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Soliloquy

The word, 'soliloquy' means 'an act of speaking one's thoughts aloud when by oneself or regardless of any hearers, especially by a character in a play'. Hence, option B is correct.

The word, 'prologue' means 'a separate introductory section of a literary, dramatic, or musical work'. The word, 'dialogue' means 'a conversation between two or more people as a feature of a book, play, or film'. The word, 'epilogue' means 'a section or speech at the end of a book or play that serves as a comment on or a conclusion to what has happened'.

As the meanings of the above three words, do not mean the same as 'speaking aloud while alone', options A, C and D are incorrect.
