Answer:

Language can be called arbitrary because, Words do not inherently resemble the objects that they represent and The word chair does not resemble the object it represents.

Explanation:

Languages are Arbitrary means that there is no relationship between the words that we use and the natural meaning of that particular word.

Words do not inherently resemble the objects that they represent. There are certain words which might be meaningless to some, but those are the exact words which are understood by many. Say for example, the word ‘chair’ doesn’t necessarily resemble the object it represents. It doesn’t tell us anything about what exactly the kind or type of object it is referring to.

bija089 [108]

Literature is read for various reasons. For example, some people read literature to understand other people better. Others read it for escapism. Entertainment is another common reason. All of these reasons depend on the author providing the reader with new information that is different to their own experiences of the world. If the author does not tell the reader more than he already knows, it is unlikely that the reader will be informed or entertained by the work.

How do you think the story will develop at the party? Check all that apply.
TiliK225 [7]

Benvolio will be right, and Romeo will forget all about Rosaline.

Romeo and Benvolio will be revealed as Montagues, and a fight will break out.

Juliet will make a decision about whether she wants to marry Paris.

The question asks about your personal opinion when it says, "What do you think". However, there are some choices that make the most sense based on what you know because of any prior knowledge you have of the story and the prologue. We know that Romeo will not be with Rosaline in the end, so it would be logical to think that she is no longer a love interest of his when he sees Juliet at the party. Also, the prologue mentions that there will be new mutiny in regards to the ancient grudge, so we can expect more fighting. Last, we know that Juliet has to make a decision about marrying Paris at the party because of the conversation she had with her mother. Of course, we know what that decision will be, but still.
