Read the excerpt from Samuel Johnson’s A Dictionary of the English Language. Mádness. n.s. [from mad.] Distraction; loss of unde

rstanding; perturbation of the faculties. Why, woman, your husband is in his old tunes again: he so rails against all married mankind, so curses all Eve's daughters, and so buffets himself on the forehead, that any madness I ever yet beheld seemed but tameness and civility to this distemper. Shakesp. Merry Wives of Windsor. There are degrees of madness as of folly, the disorderly jumbling ideas together, in some more, some less. Locke.

Answer:

The way that <u>entries in old dictionaries differ from those of earlier dictionaries is that earlier</u> dictionaries do not include references to classical literature passages. This was used as a way to exemplify the use of the words in a given context. Nowadays, dictionaries (good quality ones) embed more practical examples and include sentences that show the use of terms in different contexts.

A piece of evidence was seen after cutting back on suspensions that there is an increase in academic achievement. Banning Suspensions also reduces the crimes that students might get the liberty to do outside the school premises. Therefore, Option B is the correct statement.

<h3 /><h3>Why do students must now no longer be suspended?</h3>

Students who're suspended or expelled from faculty are much more likely to do crimes, abuse pills, and many more, and spiral into low educational fulfillment and delinquency.

Therefore, Option B is the correct statement.

Why does Chaucer picture the prioress with a coral trinket on her arm
inn [45]

The prioress is a nun who is head of a house of nuns. At the beginning of the tale, Chaucer describes her physical appearance such as her mouth, her eyes and her face. Then, he moves on to describe what she has: her clothes and her jewellery. The coral trinket on her arm is the first piece of jewellery Chaucer mentions. The reader expects a nun not to wear any jewellery of decorative nature because she is devoted to God and does not have to worry about her looks or about materialistic things such as jewellery. The "coral trinket" is the first hint the author gives the reader that shows the prioress is not the typical nun one would expect.
