In the passage, Twain uses vernacular language (e.g., "ain't") and mentions local characters (Aunt Polly, Mary, Widow Douglas). Vernacular language gives a sense of the local dialect and time - place, and local characters root the story in a specific community. There is no mention of the supernatural (a), no scientific terminology (b), and the setting is not urban (d).

C. His use of vernacular language and local characters
