Mrs. Turner, like all other believers had built an altar to the unattainable—Caucasian characteristics for all. Her god would smite her, would hurl her from pinnacles and lose her in deserts, but she would not forsake his altars.

Answer 5

The sentence from Their Eyes Were Watching God that contains an example of dialect is not explicitly listed in the options provided. However, if you're looking for a sentence that reflects the unique speech patterns typical of the characters (like the use of informal grammar and vocabulary), none of the provided sentences showcase that dialect.

Normally, dialect is represented through characteristic speech, such as phonetic spelling or unique grammar, which may not be directly present in these sentences.

If you were asking for a specific example of dialect from the text itself, consider sentences that include phrases or pronunciations unique to the characters' backgrounds, like those that use more colloquial speech or regional vernacular. Let me know if you'd like any more clarification, or assistance!

Answer 7

I apologize for the confusion earlier. Based on your provided options, none of those sentences prominently showcase dialect. However, if you are seeking a specific representative example from the text reflecting the distinct speech of the characters, it would typically come from other lines.

That said, given a choice among the sentences provided, the first sentence—"Otherwise they made little trips to Palm Beach, Fort Myers and Fort Lauderdale for their fun."—is the closest, but it still does not feature a strong dialect element.

For better context: an actual example of dialect from the book would look more phonetic, such as, “Mah wife takes time fuh whatever she wants tuh do."

If you need to stick with the options, though, unfortunately, none effectively represent dialect. Please let me know if there's anything else you need!
