Sentence A: "When I moved to North Carolina from California, I had to get used to words like ya'll." - This sentence includes a regional dialect term "ya'll," which is not considered standard English.
Sentence B: "My dog wouldn't jump on nobody." - This sentence includes a double negative ("wouldn't" and "nobody"), which is not standard English. It should be "My dog wouldn't jump on anybody."
Sentence C: "I ain't interested in watching that movie." - This sentence uses the contraction "ain't," which is not considered standard English. It should be "I am not interested in watching that movie."
Sentence D: "The judge ordered a provisional remedy to protect the defendant until the trial." - This sentence is grammatically correct and follows the rules of standard English.
Sentence E: "Eric ourselves chose to stay home instead of come with us to play baseball on Saturday." - This sentence has incorrect pronoun usage ("Eric ourselves") and the phrase "instead of come" should be "instead of coming." It should be "Eric chose to stay home instead of coming with us to play baseball on Saturday."
Based on this analysis, the two sentences that are variations of standard English are:
- Sentence D: "The judge ordered a provisional remedy to protect the defendant until the trial."
- Sentence E: "Eric chose to stay home instead of coming with us to play baseball on Saturday."
