<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.

When I think of Gothic, I don't think of anything positive, so A would definitely not be it. The same thing with B. Anything with beautiful, sparkling, bright and colourful things just doesn't scream goth.
For C, I could see where it would be going with using a jail yard as a setting, but since the answer specifically says on a sunny afternoon, then I don't think that would be correct either. When people think sunny, they usually think happy.
I think D would be most accurate. It doesn't seem like it would have any positive attributes, and it would probably even make some people uneasy.
So yeah, I'm not 100% sure, but this is the best I can do to figure it out. I think D would be the best choice! :)
