Answer 2

Answer:

All of the above.

Explanation:

Depending on how the dialogue between characters are created. You can tear characters apart by forcing them to choose between conflicting desires. Dialogue can also help with character development by identifying the characters and their roles within the story. Dialogue can even slow the plot down if there isn't enough conflict due to the fact that conflict drives the characters and the plot forward. But it could also move the plot forward by using concrete words and short adjectives and adverbs to describe and use active voice instead of passive voice. And Dialogue can give the audience information the characters know if you use a certain POV when making a story.

Basically everything depends on how you write the story itself.
