    Which word or phrase best indicates the use of dialect in "Gumption"?

    D. kinder made out

    This is the only option that represents the dialect in Gumption. The other options are just words necessary to tell the story but they don't mean anything by themselves. Here the full lines of this text

    "You young folks don't remember the Depression, but I do. No jobs for nobody. that winter there wasn't a soul working in our house but my wife, and she was evil as she could be! She was doing a few washings now and then for the white folks, so we made out. But she didn't like to see me sitting around, even if I couldn't find a job"

    This story is really old, that's why the dialect they use is also really old. The translation would be " so that's what we did" referring to their job washing other people clothes.
