Answer: The sentence that uses Standard English is "The Joneses brought the baby home".

Explanation: Standard English is the widely accepted form of the English language, that is to say that it is the dialect considered to be correct and the only one that must be used in formal contexts. The second sentence, "The Joneses brought the baby home",<u> is the one that uses Standard English because it includes the standard form of the past tense conjugation of the verb "bring" ("brought").</u> On the other hand, "The Joneses brung the baby home" contains the non-standard and dialectical form of the past tense of "bring" ("brung").<u> "Brung" is part of the popular slang and, unlike "brought", it is used in informal contexts. </u>

6. Choose one character from the novel that you feel best fits the explanation of
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Atticus Finch and Boo Radley. These men to me are considered mockingbirds. When thinking of mockingbirds I get a sense of innocence. Atticus is above all the other adults around him and he is kindly defending and respecting Boo as he does everyone else. Boo Radley is also a mockingbird because he was wrongly accused of sexual assault even though knowing his character he didn’t do it. His testimony was very powerful and eye opening.
