The phrases creating a tone of foreboding are:

  • "strange blight;"
  • "evil spell;"
  • "mysterious maladies;"
  • "shadow of death."

<em>Foreboding</em> means predicting or announcing that something bad is about to happen. Taking the answers one by one, you can see how they relate to the same ominous idea:

  • a "strange blight" and "evil maladies" refer to a destructive condition which no-body can explain;
  • an "evil spell" means that it is interpreted as a magical curse;
  • the "shadow of death" is a metaphor meaning that death is coming to the crops or cattle (depending on the original text excerpt).

Which statements describe Samuel Johnson's A Dictionary of the English Language? Check all that apply.
qwelly [4]

Answer:

The answers are:

It includes over forty thousand definitions.

It offers excerpted examples of the words in literature.

Explanation:

<em>Samuel Johnson's </em>"A Dictionary of the English Language" was regarded as the best dictionary of its day. It was published in 1755, thus this makes the first choice (It was published in the late 1800s) incorrect.

I<u>t has around 42,773 words with their meanings</u>, thus this makes the second choice (It includes over forty thousand definitions) correct. The dictionary which "only" contained 40,000 words was prepared by <em>Nathan Bailey.</em>

The dictionary only shows the<u> meaning of the words and "not their origin."</u> Thus, this makes the third choice (It includes information about word origin) incorrect.

The meaning of the words are illustrated with the help of quotations (excerpts) relating to literature. So, this makes the last choice (It offers excerpted examples of the words in literature) correct. Examples of the quotations comes from Shakespeare, Dryden and Milton.

However, the dictionary doesn't have a preface written by William Shakespeare. Thus, this makes the fourth choice (It has a preface written by William Shakespeare) incorrect.

Feliz [49]

1) the correct answer is B True love is inexplicable and boundless.

2) the correct answer is C “I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where” (Line 9).

3) the correct answer is  A urgent and passionate.

4) At the beginning of the poem, he says why he does not love her. He doesn't love her as if she was a salt-rose, topaz, or carnation, but he loves her as if she was a plant that does not bloom. This means that he does not love her superficially, but he loves her deeply for who she is on the inside.

Flowers are beautiful things that everyone admires, but no one would admire a flower that doesn’t bloom because they could not see the beauty that it contains.
