To determine which sentences are variations of standard English, we need to look for grammatical errors or non-standard language usage. Let's analyze each option:
A. "When I moved to North Carolina from California, I had to get used to words like ya'll." - This sentence is a variation of standard English. The contraction "ya'll" is a non-standard form of "you all," commonly used in Southern American English.
B. "I ain't interested in watching that movie." - This sentence is a non-standard variation of standard English. The use of "ain't" instead of "am not" or "is not" is considered grammatically incorrect in standard English.
C. "Eric ourselves chose to stay home instead of come with us to play baseball on Saturday." - This sentence contains grammatical errors and is not a variation of standard English. "Ourselves" is not used correctly here.
D. "A judge ordered a provisional remedy to protect the defendant until the trial." - This sentence is an example of standard English. There are no grammatical errors, and the vocabulary used is appropriate.
E. "My dog wouldn't jump on nobody." - This sentence is a non-standard variation of standard English. The use of "wouldn't jump on nobody" is considered incorrect in standard English. The correct form would be "wouldn't jump on anybody" or "wouldn't jump on anyone."
Therefore, the two correct answers are A. When I moved to North Carolina from California, I had to get used to words like ya'll and D. A judge ordered a provisional remedy to protect the defendant until the trial.
