Answer: Pa reckoned he'd have to leave off driving his old truck.
Explanation:
Dialect refers to the way a person speaks the language that they speak as languages have various dialects. For instance, standard British English and standard American English are dialects of the English language.
Writers can use dialect in literature so that the reader understands what kind of dialect the characters are using. In option C above, the use of the word 'reckoned' would have the effect of the reader believing that Pa uses the Southern American English dialect.
I believe it would be conjecture.
Hope it helps
Dear Sir,
I recently went on one of your cruises to the Pacific Island. I'm sorry to say this, but I was very disappointed with the food. I ordered a steak for dinner last night, and it was cold. Other than that, it had a hair in it! I quickly ordered some chicken soup, but the chicken tasted raw.
Also, the cabin I stayed in was extremely tiny! I had to walk sideways to get to my bed, practically! It was cramped with useless items. After I saw how small it was, I asked to change my room. They refused!
Lastly, there was no bathroom in the cabin. I had to walk all the way down the hall to go to the restroom at 6:00 in the morning. It was terrible, to say the least.
I hope you will take my complaints into consideration. I just hope you will upgrade your ship into something nicer.
Sincerely,
(put your name here)
Answer:
What prevents Odysseus from killing the sleeping Cyclops is:

Explanation:
Odysseus is the hero in the epic poem "The Odyssey", by Homer. At a certain point, he and his men end up trapped in a land filled with Cyclopes, one-eyed giants who eat men. <u>Odysseus has the chance to kill the Cyclops who keeps him and his men hostage, but he realizes he cannot do it:</u>
"[...] if I killed him we perished there as well, for we could never move his ponderous doorway slab aside."
<u>A slab is a large and heavy piece of concrete or stone. Odysseus knows that, if he kills the Cyclops, they will all die since they cannot escape. He and his men do not have the strength or the means to move the boulder aside and free the way out.</u>
