Answer:

Phrases that use realistic elements are those that contain g [irias like "wingin" and "you desires". In addition, phrases using dialects of the time such as "I'd not refuse it" also have this element.

Step-by-step explanation:

The realistic elements of the sentences are the expressions that were common in the colloquial language of the population at the time the story takes place. In this way, the author makes dialogues more realistic when he presents the use of girias and dialects common to the English spoken in that society, allowing the characters to be more palpable and real.
