The words from the first line that best reflect Lincoln's formal diction are:

"four score and seven years ago"

A score is 20 years. Therefore, four score and seven years is 87 years. In other words, Lincoln is saying (4x20+ 7). Nevertheless, how he chose to express "87 years ago" reflect his formal diction.

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is A) Portuguese goods were less valuable than Chinese goods

Explanation:

At the time, the Chinese civilization was one of the most advanced in the world. The products they made including silk, ornaments, porcelain etc had a lot of value in countries like Portugal who had a growing income.

However,  Portuguese products were not of very high quality. The Portuguese developed textiles, wooden products and even imported new agriculture products from South America. However, these products were not considered valuable in China.

Hence, Ming China wanted the Portuguese to pay in more valuable for Gold and Silver.

Samuel Johnson: Lexicographer

Adam Smith: Philosopher

Samuel Pepys: Diarist

Oliver Cromwell: Political leader

Details:

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) published <em>A Dictionary of the English Language </em>in 1755, after many years of work on the project. It was the most commonly used English dictionary until the <em>Oxford English Dictionary </em>was first published in 1928.

Adam Smith (1723-1790) is best known for his economic theories, published in <em>An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations </em>(1776). However, he also is well respected in the philosophical field of ethics, with his notable work in that area being <em>The Theory of Moral Sentiments </em>(1759).

Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) was an administrator for the English navy and a member of Parliament. He is most famous, though, for a lengthy diary he kept for ten years of his life which provided thought and comments on events occurring at his time in history.

Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658) was the leader of Parliament's movement against King Charles I, and the military leader against the king's forces in the English Civil War. He went on to run the Commonwealth of England after the king was deposed and executed. He later took up the title of Lord Protector of England.
