Answer:

B) You should stress the second syllable, because it is a verb that means to be stricken by an illness.

Explanation:

As a verb,<em> to contract</em> is stressed on the second syllable, and it in this case it means to catch a contagious disease. In that matter, the woman is said to be afraid to catch polio.

The rest of the alternatives are incorrect because, in the the sentence, <em>contract </em>is used as a verb following the conditional <em>would. </em>Besides<em>,</em> according  to the context, it does not mean to decrease in size o diminish.

1. The correct answer is dialects.

A dialect is a substandard form of a language - this means that it is a type of a language spoken in one area of a country, and it is usually not completely grammatically correct. If you take a look at the excerpt above, you can see that it is definitely not formal - using expressions such as 'woulda,' 'being brung,' etc. is rather colloquial.

2. The correct answer is credible.

When Mark Twain used colloquialisms and dialects in his novel, he wanted to portray these people as they were. He wanted his readers to believe him, to think that there are really people like that, and to be able to imagine the spirit of the time perfectly.

3. The correct answer is realist.

Mark Twain was a realist writer - the authors during the era of Realism (19th and part of 20th century) wanted to portray real people, emotions, events. They didn't want to embellish their literature, but rather to write about actual people, believable people, credible people. Mark Twain was no different.

10. In which one of the following examples is the date written correctly?
fiasKO [112]
When writing dates in long format, there should be a comma after the day of the week and a comma after the specific date. You should also note that the whole words should be used, especially when you aim for the formal tone of writing. So looking at your choices, you can rule out B, C, and D. 

The correct answer would be A. Monday, November 12, 2004.

Fill in the blank with correct verb:
True [87]
The verb used would be ‘is’ because we’re talking about a group of people in the present tense. I feel we would use ‘are’ only if there were specific things were were talking about, like [we] are, [you] are, [jack and jill] are, etc. Though, this wouldn’t be the case with he and she, because they always need to be in present tense.
