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.

2. Rewrite the following passage, correcting any spelling errors.
Luden [163]

Answer:

It is always a good idea to keep a personal spelling list. You can make it your own vocabulary list too by giving the meaning of the words as well. Spelling doesn't happen by itself, you have to learn it. Reading, of course, also helps you learn how to spell. The more you read, the more words become familiar to you. However, when you are unsure, it is best to look a word up in the dictionary.​ (For the last sentence, you can either put what's above or you can put: "However, when you are unsure, it is best to look up a word in the dictionary.")

Hope this helps!

Phantasy [73]

Answer:A is the correct answer

Explanation:The reason for that is because if you ever don't understand a word you see the surrounding words or phrases.For example,the sentence "The little girl coward in fear when she saw the spider" Lets say you didn't know what coward meant but w do know that the sentence states that she feared the spider so coward might mean to be afraid or unable to do something.
