Which statement is true about dialogue in short stories?

Because dialogue takes up a lot of space, it should be avoided in short stories.

Dialogue using the character's own words is one way a writer can show rather than tell readers what a character is like.

Dialogue involves summarizing what characters say to help the story move along more quickly.

Writers should look for opportunities to tell what a character is like through description rather than show through the use of dialogue.

Read the excerpt from act 1, scene 3, of julius caesar. cassius. am i not stayed for? tell me. cinna. yes, you are. o cassius, if you could but win the noble brutus to our party— cassius. be you content. good cinna, take this paper and look you lay it in the praetor’s chair, where brutus may but find it. and throw this in at his window. set this up with wax upon old brutus’ statue. all this done, repair to pompey’s porch, where you shall find us. is decius brutus and trebonius there? cinna. all but metellus cimber, and he’s gone to seek you at your house. well, i will hie, and so bestow these papers as you bade me. cassius. that done, repair to pompey’s theatre. what is cassius’s motivation for sending brutus the letter? cassius wants to make sure that cinna is on his side. cassius wants to reassure cinna that brutus will follow them. cassius wants to sway brutus to kill caesar. cassius wants to alert brutus about the conspiracy against him.

I’ve given a lot of thought to what one of them should be, and the answer seems clear.
