本文 · Passage
若いころは方言がはずかしく、東京に出てから必死に直した。今はちがう。方言はその土地の歴史や気候とともに育ってきたものだ。標準語に直せば便利だが、その言葉でしか表せない感覚もある。失ってから気づくのではおそい。
筆者は方言についてどう考えているか。

訳 · Translation
When I was young I was ashamed of my dialect and worked hard to lose it after moving to Tokyo. I feel differently now. A dialect grew up with the history and climate of its region. Standard Japanese is convenient, but there are feelings only the dialect can express. Realising this after it's lost is too late. Q: What does the writer think about dialects? — They can express things nothing else can.
正解 · Answer
方言にはその言葉でしか表せないものがある
解説 · Why
今は ちがう marks the change of view, and その 言葉でしか 表せない 感覚 states what dialect uniquely carries.
誤答 · Why the other options are wrong
標準語は使うべきではない — Standard Japanese is called convenient.
方言はもう残っていない — The passage warns against losing it, not that it is gone.
方言は直したほうがよい — That was the earlier attitude.
