The correct answer is B. Wright wants to enhance the realism of the story for the audience.
The short story "The Man Who Was Almost a Man" was published in 1961. The technique of faithfully portraying the way the characters talk, their accent and informality, had been used to enhance realism much before that date. An example would be the writer F. Scott Fitzgerald, who already employed such style in his writing in the 1920's - for instance 'S'alright' instead of 'It's alright.'
That is what Wright does in the short story. Dave - an African-American who works at a farm - and the other characters have a very specific dialect. From its faithful representation in the story, a lot can be noted by the reader without much explanation being necessary: from the way they talk and the things they talk about, the time and setting, the social and historical context can be inferred. The very first dialog in the story is an example of that:
"Howdy, Dave! Whutcha want?"
"How yuh, Mistah Joe? Aw, Ah don wanna buy nothing. Ah jus wanted t see ef yuhd lemme look at tha catlog erwhile."
This is a quote from John Green's "A Fault in our Stars".
It's basically an exaggeration depicting the emotion of a reader who has just read a book that made a very strong impression on the person to levels that he wants everyone to read this book so as to feel the emotions that swell within John. This want is depicted by the phrase "weird evangelical zeal". The reader acknowledges that such a zeal is weird. Few things can make a person want to scream a message to the whole world which is the emotion the above exaggeration is describing. John simply desires for everyone to feel what he felt, but he knows it's most likely not possible to carry another person on the ride of intrigue he experienced, hence admitting that it is weird. There's an irony there because he knows it would be difficult for another to convey theirs to him too.
The exaggeration continues when the John declares that the world stands a chance of fixing itself only after it has read the book. Here John is simply implying that reading this book would be helpful to every reader in every circumstance.
The appropriate response is Bravery and Perseverance. As Homer's celebrated ballad, Odysseus is pretty much always performing demonstrations of valor and fortitude. In any case, there are a couple of outstanding cases of Odysseus' fortitude that merit harping on. The Cyclops scene, for example, is maybe extraordinary compared to other cases of Odysseus' unbelievable strength.
