English

The hyperbole “the size of tombstones”. The author uses the hyperbole to define the extent of Anna's teeth. It’s clear the character does not have teeth in her mouth as big as tombstones or else the character would not be eager to speak. The effect of wit is shaped through Sedaris's use of the hyperbole. Also, it makes an improved description of the scene so that the person who reads can make a better visual.   
The hyperbole "Every day spent with you is like having a cesarean section."The result is this is where David Sedaris for the primary time meanwhile being in France he could comprehend every word that anybody was saying.

Calvary” most likely suggest?
bazaltina [42]
I think this question is about the last stanza of "That I did always love". For me, Calvary here represents that the speaker is in a great deal of pain. Calvary is the place where Jesus was crucified and He was in great pain. Also, this word, today, represents an experience of extreme suffering.

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.
