The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question is incomplete because it does not include any text of reference, we can say the following.
The part of the excerpt from Voltaire’s Candide best develops the theme that different people find value in different things is this one:<em> "We desire nothing of your Majesty," says Candide, "but a few sheep laden with provisions, pebbles, and the earth of this country." The King laughed. "I cannot conceive," said he, "what pleasure you Europeans find in our yellow clay, but take as much as you like, and great good may it do you."</em>
This surprised the King because he couldn't conceive the idea that Candide would prefer simpler things instead of more fancy ones. But that is true. Different people prefer different things. You do cannot anticipate that people would be happy with luxurious things when maybe they prefer the simple things in life.
This is part of the book "Candide," written by French philosopher Voltaire in 1759.
In the poem "Mother to Son" it's very commum to use words in everyday speech, which may be different in different regions or communities. In this text we have some example as “Cause you find it’s kinder hard.”
So, the vernacular uses language gives the impression that the woman is less educated and probably from the countryside.
Because of that, the diction is <u>Colloquial.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>
Gerard Manley Hopkins’s “God’s Grandeur,” is an exploration of the bond between Nature and God. It is about how the Almighty is infused in everything around us, despite man’s effort to ruin everything. When the sonnet was written, industrial and commercial revolutions were at their peak which put extra pressure on the environment. To express his concern and to cause awareness among others, Hopkins penned down this beautiful realisation.
