The lines "I didn't aim to" and "You a lie!" are both examples of A. dialect. B. metaphors. C. allusions. D. imagery.

It would be dialect.

Dialect is the particular sounds, grammar, and/or spelling to distinguish a certain type of person or group from another.

Basically, it is the way people talk (their accents)

For example,

There is the southern - "Hey y'all!"

Brooklyn - "Hows ya doin?"

British - "'Ello"

Australian - "'Ay, mate"

This also refers to grammar and spelling. Like in your question "You a lie". Normally we would say "You are lying" or "That is a lie", but the particular person, based on their culture, ethnicity, etc. will speak differently.

Hope this helps!

I hope
