Answer: D. Hurston's word choice and use of regional expressions create a vivid image of African American life in the South
Zora Neale Hurston wrote the story entitled <em>John Redding Goes to the Sea. </em>Hurston uses the expressions from the town the story happens in order to be able to present a clearer picture of the scenario in the said town.
The word would be 'use' because it can be used both as a verb and noun but here is used as the noun. We can tell they want a noun since the word 'correct' is an adjective, which describes only nouns. It wouldn't be 'used' because it is a past tense of the verb.
A past-tense verb, meaning it already happened. If it was a present-verb, it would be build.
