Answer:

The answer is indeed letter C. The word is used mainly in Great Britain, not in the United States.

Explanation:

Brit and US are geographical labels found in dictionary entries. They come in parentheses and are used to indicate where that word is mostly used. Thus, if the label Brit comes after a word, it means it occurs typically in British English - that may include other varieties, such as Australian English -, but not in American English. An example would be the informal word "bevvy", which refers to an alcoholic beverage. In a dictionary entry, we could find bevvy (Brit).

Geographical labels are also used to indicate that a certain way to spell a word belongs to one of the varieties of English as well. For example, the color gray has different spellings according to where it is used. Thus, we would find grey (Brit.) and gray (US) in a dictionary entry.

Select the aphorism that best expresses the following sentiment: Be careful to whom you tell your secrets because they can betra

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

To whom thy secret thou dost tell, to him thy freedom thou dost sell.

Explanation:

An aphorism is a saying, proverb, or maxim that expresses a general truth or life principle. They are also taken, at times, as mottos or ideals of life.

The given aphorism "Be careful to whom you tell your secrets because they can betray you" can be best expressed by the saying "to whom thy secret thou dost tell, to him thy freedom thou dost sell". This sentence expresses the same sentiment of being careful about telling one's secrets to anyone, for it is the same as giving them the keys to one's happiness or sadness, one's freedom. They can either keep the secret and give you freedom or reveal the secrets and ruin you.

Thus, the correct answer is the last/ fourth option.
