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.

Sayeed Johnson, who is running for mayor, will be speaking at the city library tonight.
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: Terms that describe the underlined portion of the sentence ("who is running for mayor") are: <u>nonrestrictive</u> and<u> clause.</u>

Explanation:

  • A clause is a grammar unit that, unlike a phrase, contains a verb and a subject. It is different from a sentence in that it does not convey a complete thought and does not make sense on its own. In this case, "who is running for mayor" is a<u> </u><u>relative clause. </u>

*An appositive is <u>a noun/noun phrase</u> which identifies another element in a sentence (typically another noun phrase). This is not the case here, as this construction is a relative clause and not a noun phrase.

  • A nonrestrictive clause, also known as a nonessential clause, is a clause which provides details that are not essential for a sentence to make sense. In other words, the meaning of the sentence would remain the same without this clause - <em>Sayeed Johnson will be speaking at the city library tonight. </em>
