1 answer:

7 0

Based on the etymology of the word "surly", I can say that it illustrates PEJORATION instead of amelioration. It illustrates pejoration since its definition has become more negative in time. In contrast, amelioration is a type of semantic change wherein the meaning of the word becomes more positive. Hope this answers your question.

First one is false. this means that it is not appropriate.
second one is true. this means that the message is appropriate, so you would agree to any thing that has been set that is not inappropriate.
