In his essay, <em>"If Black English Isn't a Language, Then Tell Me, What Is?"</em>, Baldwin contends that Black English is not a dialect but a distinct language.

The author shows the differences between a dialect and a language. According to him, a language reveals the private identity of the speaker and he provides arguments to prove his thesis that Black English is indeed a language.

Baldwin enumerates the conditions necessary for a language to be formed and used. Black English, as he presents, complies with these conditions. In his words, <em>"People evolve a language in order to describe and thus control their circumstances, or in order not to be submerged by a reality that they cannot articulate"</em>. Thus, a language is formed in order to describe and control people's circumstances. He also adds that a language is created by the necessity to confront life and as a proof of power. In this way, he illustrates his argument: that Black English is a separate language because it is formed under many historical conditions.

Choose the sentence that contains an error.
ladessa [460]

Since the sentence of option B doesn't have the sync both the clauses to make it meaning, it contains error.

Answer: B

Explanation:

As we see option A, it seems meaningful as the animals sought shelter while the night drew near. Same case occur with option C and D as in option C, the trees are rustling due to the passing of brisk winds through their branches and in option D, stars will obviously appear brighter as the darkness grows.

But, in the option B, there is no co-ordination of both the clauses of the sentences. The disappearance of the Sun has nothing to do with the silence of woods in a direct manner. Although we can understand it indirectly that in the absence of natural light, animals might consider it as night and sought shelter. Since all other sentences have directly linked clauses, option B is showing indirect relation. Hence, it may be the desired answer as error.

Binocular Cues
