You see, a GUI should be simple instead of listing every possible choice the user might conceivably want. If the user wants to do so, they can click Cancel then do so themselves.
It is a good idea. However, the dialog functions in Emacs can't currently do this in a generic way (that is from elisp).
Close is not a good word. You close a dialog and a frame, but you quit or exit the application.
So IMHO "Close without Saving" should be "Exit without Saving" and "Save" should be "Save and Exit" or prehaps "Save marked and Exit" (if indeed that is what Save does, it isn't clear).
