<span>The author builds events slowly to create tension.

The author shows that it is a serious topic because black balls symbolize death and foreboding, that those who draw them will be sacrificed. The tension is built as the process is explained, then the young women start to draw, then the young men draw the balls. Finally, Theseus comes forward to sacrifice himself. </span>

Read the excerpt from Samuel Johnson's preface to A Dictionary of the English Language.
Marta_Voda [28]
<span>The excerpt suggests that Johnson’s work is significant because it reflects an exhaustive study of its words.
In the excerpt above, Johnson says that he used many methods in order to compile this dictionary - he read a lot of books, used his experience, and used many analogies for readers to connect words and their meanings on their own. A is incorrect because that's not the point of a dictionary; B is incorrect because he doesn't even mention other dictionaries; D is incorrect because a dictionary cannot only list obscure words.
