  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.

Select the correct answer. Lyra and Donna are testing the two-way radios they built for their high school science project. Lyra
klio [65]

Answer:

yra is 22 meters above the entrance.

The radios work until Donna is 50 meters away from the entrance.

At that moment, Lyra, Donna, and the entrance form a right triangle.

The hypotenuse is the actual distance between Lyra and Donna.

          Distance  =  √ (22² + 50²)

                        =   √ (484 m² + 2,500 m²)

                        =    √ (2984 m²)

                        =        54.63 meters.

Rounded to the nearest meter,    Distance = 55 meters.

THAT's the maximum point-to-point range of the radios

Read the excerpt from "As Good as Gold."
Wittaler [7]

There are five elements of a plot: Exposition, conflict, raising action, climax, falling action and Resolution. From these elements, the one that approaches best to that excerpt is Resolution. The word "finally" can be a signal word that denotes the ending part and Resolution means that the conflict has been solved and indicates the ending, which it really makes sense, since after all the things happened in Jake's life, at the end "I expect we'll need three servings of bacon today" refering maybe to a happy ending.
