Question 2 • IC English 11 - Deering

What does the duke’s dialect reveal about his character?

Answer
A
His reference to the houses indicates that he owns one of them.
B
His use of the word “shin” shows his knowledge of human anatomy.
C
His informal language suggests that he might not really be an upper-class duke.

Explanation

A duke would generally be expected to speak in a formal, polished way. His informal dialect contrasts with that expectation and suggests he may not truly belong to the upper class. The word “shin” by itself does not demonstrate special knowledge of anatomy, and mentioning houses does not prove that he owns one.
