Type four words that you use in a way that is different from their "proper" or standard meaning. These are probably words that y

ou use in talking to your peers (like "cool"). Do not include words which are generally considered inappropriate for public use. Type the meaning of each word as you use it, then type the standard meaning of the word, such as you might find in a dictionary.

Answer:

There are many possible answers to this question.

Explanation:

Four words that are commonly used in a different meaning than the standard or original are:

Cop: used in the expression "Cop or drop?" to ask if the object should be gotten (cop) by the speaker or not. It also refers to the police. The original meaning: cop means to steal or to buy (usually narcotics).

Dog: used in many different ways, it mostly refers to a fellow or the bad quality of something. As known, a dog is a four-legged animal usually kept as a pet.

Sweet: used as a synonym for nice.

However, sweet means that something tastes like sugar or honey or something similar.

Lit is another word used in a lot of ways. It could refer to the good characteristics of something or someone; on the other hand, it also means that somebody is under the effects of alcohol. However, lit is the past and past participle of the verb light, that means to burn, among other things.

How does the use of the word transformed support the claim in this passage?
Lera25 [3.4K]

From the 1750s on, sugar transformed how Europeans ate. Chefs who served the wealthy began to divide meals up. Where sugar had previously been used either as a decoration (as in the wedding feast) or as a spice to flavor all courses, now it was removed from recipes for meat, fish, and vegetables and given its own place—in desserts. Dessert as the extremely sweet end to the meal was invented because so much sugar was available. But the wealthy were not the only ones whose meals were changing. Sugar became a food, a necessity, and the foundation of the diet for England's poorest workers.

It indicates that the addition of sugar was a significant change to Europeans' diets.

Answer: Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the paragraph that has been shown above, the way the Europeans ate in the 1750s and the change in their way of eating has been talked about. It shows that there has been addition of sugar in their diet.

Earlier sugar was only used as a way of decoration or as a spice to flavor up all the courses. But later the intake of sugar increased a lot in the diet of the Europeans and it became a necessity, it became a food.
