Jon shook in fear as he looked from the plane. The trees looked like little specks of green, and he could only hear the sound of the plane's engine. The wind was blowing so hard in the air that it could knock men off their feet and fall in chains like dominos. He gathered his thoughts and began to breath. His sweat, beating on his brow, his hands, oily from holding on to the pole for so long, his knees, weak, and his mind telling him to step back and cower. He gripped the straps of his parachute, hoping that they can be his salvation to landing safety, and leapped out of the flying vehicle. As he fell with stinging skin, he could feel the gravity pull on his torso the wind tugging his arms and legs. He could move very little, like being encased in gelatin.

Answer:

<h2>See below</h2>

Explanation:

The man was extremely nervous. Everything was different! As he looked out over the edge and saw the world far below him, panic began to set in. What if something went wrong? What if the parachute failed? he would die! However, he soon got control over these worries. This was going to be fun! More confident, he tightened the straps of his parachute and then jumped out of the plane, taking his very first skydive ever.

Which statements describe Samuel Johnson's A Dictionary of the English Language? Check all that apply.
qwelly [4]

Answer:

The answers are:

It includes over forty thousand definitions.

It offers excerpted examples of the words in literature.

Explanation:

<em>Samuel Johnson's </em>"A Dictionary of the English Language" was regarded as the best dictionary of its day. It was published in 1755, thus this makes the first choice (It was published in the late 1800s) incorrect.

I<u>t has around 42,773 words with their meanings</u>, thus this makes the second choice (It includes over forty thousand definitions) correct. The dictionary which "only" contained 40,000 words was prepared by <em>Nathan Bailey.</em>

The dictionary only shows the<u> meaning of the words and "not their origin."</u> Thus, this makes the third choice (It includes information about word origin) incorrect.

The meaning of the words are illustrated with the help of quotations (excerpts) relating to literature. So, this makes the last choice (It offers excerpted examples of the words in literature) correct. Examples of the quotations comes from Shakespeare, Dryden and Milton.

However, the dictionary doesn't have a preface written by William Shakespeare. Thus, this makes the fourth choice (It has a preface written by William Shakespeare) incorrect.
