Grade 5 Quiz Varieties of English in Literature – L.5.3.B

English, as a language, comes in a rich tapestry of varieties. Dialects can represent geographical areas or communities, while registers determine the formality or context of the language, such as academic or colloquial speech. In literature – stories, dramas, and poems – authors use these varieties to provide authenticity, to set a scene, or to develop a character. Understanding these variations helps readers connect with the material and understand it more deeply.
