Answer:

A). To rig or unfairly influence an outcome.

C). To preserve a specimen for study.

Explanation:

The excerpt from T.S. Eliot's 'The love song of J. Alfred Prufrock' demonstrating the obsession of an old modern man with his own sense of vulnerability and insufficiency to deserve the woman he loves. This leads to developing a lower moral and self-esteem that serves him creating an image of himself portraying him to be inadequate('I am pinned and wriggling') to the requirements of women.

The two meanings of 'fix' suggested here could be 'to rig or unfairly influence an outcome' and 'to repair something that is damaged or broken' as he considers himself to be incompetent or deficient who needs to be 'repaired'. Thus, <u>options A and C</u> are the answers.

Why does Antony use the phrase brutish beasts in line 32?
likoan [24]
I believe that the work is Marc Anthony's Speech from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar ,and the full line is:
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,

and his purpose is to say that the judgement is not following the reason, but instead that people follow the wrong people in their judgement (those people is what he means by "brutish beasts")

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.
