Which of these statements is false All operas contain music All operas contain spoken dialogue All operas contain songs?

The second one. Traditionally, operas have little or no spoken dialogue at all - as opposed to musicals, which have songs to illustrate major sequences and dialogue in between. (Thus Lloyd Webber's "Phantom", insofar as the film, is NOT actually a traditional opera, nor is the stage show; it is technically a musical.)

In opera, all vocalization is sung -- per se, then, it is not labeled as 'dialog'.All operas are written in a language and depending on where they are performed, the opera company/ house may translate the libretto -- the text being sung -- into a language that the audience in that geography may better understand.

Can there be a script without dialog?

Absolutely a script can contain no dialog. Film is a visual medium, after all, and a viewer must be able to follow the story without any words. The 2011 film, The Artist, is a great example of a film without any -- or much -- dialog. Silent movies produced pre-late-1920s are also good examples of stories without dialog. They contain dialog, which is presented as text during the scene, but often the text is unnecessary because so much of the story can be understood visually. Plus, the 2015 movie, Minions, is another example of 'no dialog' because the characters' dialog is essentially gibberish.
