To determine which sentences are variations of standard English, we need to identify any sentences that might contain non-standard or informal language. Let's analyze each item:
1. TOOLS: This is a single word and does not constitute a complete sentence. It does not provide any evidence of being a variation of standard English.
2. I ain't interested in watching that movie: Here, the word "ain't" is a non-standard contraction of "am not" or "are not." The use of "ain't" is considered informal or non-standard in standard English.
3. When I moved to North Carolina from California, I had to get used to words like y'all: This sentence is written in standard English. The contraction "y'all" is a widely accepted and commonly used term in regional dialects.
4. My dog wouldn't jump on nobody: This sentence is an example of double negative usage, which is generally considered non-standard in standard English. A correct form would be "My dog wouldn't jump on anybody."
5. A judge ordered a provisional remedy to protect the defendant until the trial: This sentence is written in standard English.
6. Eric ourselves chose to stay home instead of come with us to play baseball on Saturday: This sentence contains an incorrect reflexive pronoun usage. A correct form would be "Eric himself chose to stay home instead of coming with us to play baseball on Saturday."
Based on the analysis, the two correct answers are:
- Sentence 3: When I moved to North Carolina from California, I had to get used to words like y'all.
- Sentence 5: A judge ordered a provisional remedy to protect the defendant until the trial.
