Read the following lines of dialogue from Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi. Which excerpt uses a tagline?

Question

"Farewell, Mr. Fish. Pardon the bother, and many thanks for your kindness."

 His yellow wig was in the Marionette's hand. "Pinocchio, give me my wig!"

 "It is Pinocchio! It is Pinocchio!" yelled all the Marionettes, pouring out of the wings.

"Will you please tell me if, on this island, there are places where one may eat without necessarily being eaten?"

Answer 1

I think I may have an answer. First, I think the question may have been phrased incorrectly. A tagline is normally a short, snappy line on the front cover of a book to get people interested in buying it. I think the intended term for this question is "dialogue tag," which means a word or phrase that can come before or after a line of dialogue that clarifies which character has just spoken. The most common dialogue tag is "said" (ex: "I'm sorry I can't help you," said Mrs. Brennan.)

In this case, I think the correct answer is the one that clearly states which character is delivering the line of dialogue.
