Question

Mrs. Turner was a milky sort of a woman that belonged to child-bed. Her shoulders rounded a little, and she must have been conscious of her pelvis because she kept it stuck out in front of her so she could always see it. Which phrase from the excerpt is the best example of dialect in this excerpt? sort of a woman belonged to child-bed shoulders rounded a little so she could always see it

Answer 1

The correct answer is belonged to child-bed.

Explanation: Child-bed refers to the condition of a woman who is giving birth to a child, and is a dialect because it is a different version of the same words/language - "child-bed" replaces the words "child birth".

Answer 2

The only option which seems a bit dialectish in this excerpt is belonged to child-bed.
A dialect represents the speech of a particular location in one country, speech which is not usually completely grammatically correct. The other options belong in the regular English, whereas belonged to child-bed is reserved for a particular area which makes it a dialect.
