Read the unseen dramatic extract below and complete the statement by filling in the blank with the correct dramatic term.

Cevap:DIPO: (Standing alone near the cliff edge, staring at the letters in his hand)
If the sea could swallow my secrets as easily as it consumes the shore, I would breathe again. But memory is a persistent tide, dragging every hidden guilt back to light...

TUNDE: (Stepping out quietly from behind the palms)
You speak to the waves as though they possess ears, Dipo.

DIPO: (Startled, quickly concealing the letters)
Tunde! How long have you been standing in the shadows?

In the extract above, Dipo's opening speech delivered while alone on stage is a 【soliloquy】, which functions to reveal his inner guilt directly to the audience.

A soliloquy is a speech in a play delivered by a character who is alone on stage, allowing them to express their private thoughts and feelings to the audience. In the extract, Dipo is alone prior to Tunde's unexpected arrival, making his speech a soliloquy.
