Li, Sarena, and Elini are having an in-depth conversation about a previous relationship that was abusive. Each of the women is participating equally. What type of descriptor most accurately describes this conversation?

a. persuasive

b. dialogic

c. transmission

d. failure

The correct answer is B. Dialogic

Explanation:

In a dialogic conversation, all the participants involved exchange information, which means participants speak and listen to others. This makes possible for everyone to participate and share own ideas, experiences or perspectives. Additionally, in this type of interaction participants are considered equal and their participations are all valuable.

The conversation between Li, Sarena and Elini can be described as dialogic because the three women are both speaking and listening; this means there is a dialogue rather than a monologue; also they participate equally, which is common in dialogic interactions.
