Read the excerpt from Their Eyes Were Watching God.Mrs. Turner was a milky sort of a woman that belonged to child-bed. Her shoulders rounded a little, and she must have been conscious of her pelvis because she kept it stuck out in front of her so she could always see it. Which phrase from the excerpt is the best example of dialect in this excerpt?

Answer
A
sort of a woman
B
belonged to child-bed
C
shoulders rounded a little
D
so she could always see it

Explanation

Dialect is language that reflects a speaker’s regional or cultural way of speaking, including distinctive word choices. “Belonged to child-bed” is an unusual, dialectal expression; the other phrases use more standard wording. So the best example is “belonged to child-bed.”
