<u> It uses figurative language. 1</u>

<u> It expresses the girl's longing. 2</u>

“Hills Like White Elephants,” by Ernest Hemingway is a story about a young couple and the issue of whether doing an abortion or not. Even though the author never explicitly says that abortion is the polemic issue, he gives the reader enough information so they can infer it and be involved in the story.

This excerpt is significant because it uses symbolism (a figurative language) through the description of the setting, and it expresses the girl's logging.

The fields of grain and trees and The Ebro River represent fertility and fruitfulness: the unborn child she carries in her womb. And the “shadow of a cloud” symbolizes the polemic issue, the abortion of the fetus. And as she sees all the panorama, she realizes her wish for having the baby: <em>"And we could have all this," she said. "And we could have everything and every day we make it more impossible."</em>

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.
