ioda2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

By speaking at the same time, Higgins and Pickering  show they are no more sophisticated than Eliza.

Explanation:

In the drawing room scene in Pygmalion Professor Higgins presented Eliza to his mother, who was not pleased with the visit as Higgins tended to act objectionably in front of her guests, to test the progress of his experimented.

Eliza, having already being coached on what subjects she can safely converse in, does so beautifully but comically, talking correctly while using slang.

During the course of the evening Higgins and colonel Pickering talked over each other, a fact which made them as unsophisticated as their experimental subject, as Mrs. Higgins pointed out to the two men.

This is even further emphasized in another scene where Higgins had to be reminded to mind his manners in front of Eliza, and at the end of the play she even has better manners than he does.

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

He is trying to convey the idea that our journey is already prepared, waiting for us to teach us a life lesson.

Explanation:

To paraphrase Salak, we can say that we should not undergo an easy journey and that it will not add anything to our lives. This is because a journey must bring a teaching, an aggrandizement, allowing us to be shaped by it and that when we finish it, we will not be the same as when we started it. With that, he says that we should not choose the journey that we must follow, because we will always choose the most comfortable one, which may not provide us with any knowledge. However, we must be chosen by the journey, because in this way we will evolve.

Read the excerpt from Samuel Johnson's preface to A Dictionary of the English Language. But to COLLECT the WORDS of our language
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The excerpt claims that Johnson's work is significant because he:

B. searched literature and found more words.

Explanation:

<u>According to the excerpt, dictionaries were quite limited. To write one that was as complete as possible, Johnson had a lot of work. First, he began by reading books. By searching literature, he was able to add more words to the ones dictionaries had already provided him with. Then, he moved on to the difficult but certainly rewarding task of gleaning words from "living speech," which can be quite a chaotic job.</u> He did not change the format of dictionaries, he did not apply rules to make language less chaotic, nor did he select only the most difficult words to define. Therefore, the correct option is letter B.
