Sample Response: In the first passage, lexicographers are described as diligent and accomplished; they have a number of difficult and complex tasks to do. In the second passage, however, the word lexicographer seems to have a negative connotation, and a dictionary writer is compared unfavorably with a poet. This shift is likely because Johnson had to adjust his plan as he wrote his dictionary and thought that he had not met his lofty goals.
