The way I would explain to the speaker the meaning of his statement is that I would tell him that the meaning is connotative and not literal.

<h3>The alternative definition I would tell him</h3>

I would tell him that instead of describing a cellular phone as one that is cellular, it is better to call it a smartphone.

Hence. we can see that by referring to the phone as a smartphone, it does not have one meaning, and removes confusion, and then you would have to explain the uses of a smartphone.

Which statement is true about the events depicted in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar?
ankoles [38]
C. The events actually took place over the course of several years, not over a short time as Shakespeare suggests.

Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar" is heavily based on Plutarch's "Lives of Noble Grecians and Romans." In "Lives of Noble Grecians and Romans", Plutarch shows that the events took place over the course of some years, but that sort of format would have been impossible for a 3 hour play. So Shakespeare had to change it to be over a short period of time.
