Read the excerpt from "the revolt of mother." “look here, father, i want to know what the men are diggin’ over in the field for, an’ i’m goin’ to know.” “i wish you’d go into the house, mother, an’ tend to your own affairs,” the old man said then. he ran his words together, and his speech was almost as inarticulate as a growl. which best describes how the use of dialogue reflects the author’s style? it is exaggerated and cartoonish. it is layered with complex underlying meanings. it is authentic to the characters and setting of the story. it modernizes the characters and setting of the story.

The correct answer is actually letter C) It is authentic to the characters and setting of the story.

Explanation:

The dialect present in the dialog we are analyzing here gives the audience information about the characters. As a matter of fact, "The Revolt of Mother" is set on a farm in a rural area in New England. Also, the story takes place in late 19th century. As we can see, the spelling used by the author and the description of how the man enunciates his words are employed to faithfully represent the characters - who they are, where they are from. Therefore, we can exclude the option that says it modernizes the characters and setting of the story. It is quite the opposite. The dialog reflects the author's authentic style and fidelity to the setting and the background of the characters.

the answer is the second one.
