Which excerpt illustrates Achebe’s use of dialect?

Answer
A
“My friend,. . . I hear what you say and I thank you.”
B
“Literature, whether handed down by word of mouth or in print . . . .”
C
“Awrighto. Now make we talk business. We no be bad tief.”
D
“Then he made the journey to Enugu and found another miracle.”

Explanation

Dialect is a form of language that reflects a particular region or community, including its distinctive grammar and pronunciation. “Awrighto,” “make we talk,” and “We no be bad tief” use nonstandard forms that distinguish the speakers’ dialect. The other excerpts use standard English.
