Which literary technique is characterized by the use of a variety of language characterized by regional accents and the use of idiomatic expressions and grammatical conventions? a. dialect b. flashback c. irony d. metaphor

A- Dialect is the correct option.

This is the literary technique characterized by regional accents and the use of idiomatic expressions and grammatical conventions. These characteristics are known as linguistic variables and are present in the language used by people who live ,for example, in rural areas. The English used by royal members and members of Parliament is different from the English used by people living in rural British areas such as Devon or Suffolk. If a writer uses a dialect, he /she may be interested in creating true characters speaking their real dialect.

B- Flashback is not correct because this is a literary technique used to represent a character's past memories.

C- Irony is not correct because it is a technique used to express contradictory ideas or facts.

D- metaphor is not correct because this is used to construct an implicit comparison.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
