Explanation:

A dialect refers to a form of language that is related to a specific group of people, culture or geographical region. This form of language includes words, expression and other language features that are not common in standard language. For example, in the English language, one of the most popular dialects is African American English.

Dialect can be seen in option A because the use of expressions such as "how things was gittin'", "my pardner" and "I disremember any sich weather" do not belong to standard English language but are used as part of a dialect that is likely to belong to Tennesse region as this is mentioned in the excerpt.

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.
