Answer:

The correct option is B. semantics.

Explanation:

If the teacher and students are discussing what the words "nice" and "awful" used to mean, they are most likely discussing semantics.

Semantics is a branch of linguistics concerned with the study of meaning, be it of a word, a phrase, a sentence, or a text. It presents a variety of subbranches, but two of the most well-known subbranches are logical semantics and lexical semantics. Logical semantics studies the logical aspects of meaning, such as sense, implication and reference. Lexical semantics, on the other hand, studies the meanings of words and the relationship between words.

In your journal or using your computer, list all of the reasons Pushmataha believes war
DerKrebs [107]

Few Choctaws from the early 1800s are better known than Pushmataha. He negotiated several well-publicized treaties with the United States, led Choctaws in support of the Americans during the War of 1812, is mentioned in nearly all histories of the Choctaws, was famously painted by Charles Bird King in 1824, is buried in the Congressional Cemetery in Washington, D.C., and, in April 2001, a new Pushmataha portrait was unveiled to hang in the Hall of Fame of the State of Mississippi in the Old Capitol Museum in Jackson, Mississippi. Early twentieth-century ethnologist John Swanton referred to Pushmataha as the “greatest of all Choctaw chiefs.”1

Despite his seeming familiarity, Pushmataha's life is not as well documented nor as well known as a careful biographer would like. What is known suggests that Pushmataha was an exceptional man and charismatic leader. He had deep roots in the ancient Choctaw world, a world characterized by spiritual power and traditional notions of culture. In addition, Pushmataha effectively confronted a rapidly changing era caused by the ever-expanding European and American presence.

I would have considered the option of false due to the fact that the moral conviction can and does occasionally rise out of careful deliberation,<em> </em>with <em>faith</em> and <em>tradition</em> weighing in heavily. It's through questioning and thinking that our most cornerstone beliefs are founded.
