<u>D. Watching television makes people more intelligent.</u>

The author provides two examples to back up that watching television makes people more intelligent: First, they mention that people who watch television are more informed about the world (They are more aware, and can have a better view on what's going on), and second, they mention that people who regularly watch the World History Channel answer questions correctly 10% more often than those who don't watch the channel, meaning that these people are better at test than others who do not watch T.V.

The other options are incorrect:

A. Watching television is a complete waste of time: The author claims exactly the opposite.

B. People are aware that television is a good source of information: The author begins by asserting the opposite "Many people believe that television makes a person less intelligent".

C. People who watch more television are better at tests. Although the author does make this point, it is just a part of his main claim which is that people who watch more television are intelligent overall.

Why might an author include dialect In a story? Check all that apply.
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The reasons why an author might include dialect in a story are:

A. to allude to a character's regional background

C. to add to the cultural context of a story's setting

D. to allude to a character's social background

E. to create a more genuine dialogue between characters

Explanation:

A dialect is a variety of language used in a specific area or by a specific group. It is quite common for authors to use dialect in their stories, and there are many reasons for that.

For instance, in Zora Neale Hurston's works, dialect is used to represent the way the characters sound, which is directly connected to their cultural and social backgrounds. Her characters are African Americans who live in rural areas in the south. Many of them may not have had access to higher levels of formal education. Dialect also helps their dialogues sound more genuine, as if a real conversation had been recorded and transcribed. Had Hurston chosen to use formal language in her books, her characters would have been much less realistic and believable.
