4. Why did Langston Hughes use rural dialects in his poetry?

to portray American life from as many different perspectives as possible

to share the language of working class African Americans and give it literary value

to secure and maintain the support of his sponsors and fellow writers

to distance himself from the less Intellectual characters in his poems​
