a)setting
b)theme
c)word choice
d)dialect
e)characterization

Answer 1

Afro-American culture is expressed through dialect, theme and so setting. Therefore, options A, B, and D are the correct options.

We can arrive at this answer because:

• the author of the book wanted to emphasize African-American culture and the reality of people who live within that culture.
• For this, he used elements from the plot, which highlighted this culture and the characters' involvement in it.
• This was done through a setting that is easily associated with the places where African Americans live. Through dialect, use of common words among African Americans, and through the theme of the story, which shows how gender patterns are performed in African American culture.

Thus, we can say that the author used very efficient elements to show the reality of Janie Crawford, an African-American girl in search of love and freedom.
