  1. Johnson thinks that change in the English language is good. He thinks that the man who spends his time thinking will come up with good ideas and these will need new words. He also refers to the men who do not have much time to speculate but will turn ideas into popular opinions; these will also create new practices and, as a result,  new words will be created. These ideas are from these lines : "Those who have much leisure to think ....... proportion as it alters practice."
  2. He thinks language change should not be stopped. " As by the cultivation of various sciences, a language is amplified, it will be more furnished with words deflected from their original sense..". Johnson thinks that change cannot be stopped, though. There are many factors, internal and external, that make language change. He says that he will not be able to comply with what many schoolars have asked from him: to stop any language alteration.

Look at the frame from Iqbal. Read the excerpt from Free the Children. Iqbal knew what freedom was. He had showed it to others.
vova2212 [387]

<em>Iqbal Masih</em> was a very brave Pakistan boy who twice escaped the bonded labour he was entangled in. After his escape he managed to speak up and fight against these awful inhumane practices against mostly children in Pakistan. At the age of 12 he was shot dead in Pakistan but his legacy lived on and he inspired others to do the same.  

Question: Which is one similarity between the frame and the excerpt?

Answer: Both demonstrate that Iqbal had an impact on others after his death.

Read the excerpt from Act I of Hamlet.
Anettt [7]

Answer:

A. The simile compares the poison to a fast-moving, toxic element, emphasizing its deadliness.

Explanation:

The ghost doesn't compare the uncle to poison. Nor does he personify the vial. He is literally explaining how the uncle poisoned him by poured the poisonous plant hebona into his ear. Lastly, an apostrophe in literature is when you address someone who isn't there. The ghost isn't addressing the uncle. I believe he is speaking to Hamlet in this scene.
