Answer:
1 linguistic shifts, spelling variances, and dialect changes- pronunciation and spelling changes
2. more direct and simplified sentences- punctuation changes
3. borrowed and coined words- vocabulary changes
4. amelioration and pejoration- meaning changes
Explanation:
The above changes reflect the various ways that words and sentences are formed in the English language to communicate a clearer meaning.
- Pronunciation and spelling changes will affect the ways words are pronounced amidst different dialects and will also account for differences in spelling.
- When words are properly punctuated, sentences become clearer and more simplified.
- Vocabulary is the compilation of words used in a given language. Some are borrowed from other languages, while others are coined to give their meanings.
- Amelioration and pejoration refer to the changes in the meaning of words. Amelioration occurs when a word with a negative meaning becomes elevated to assume a positive meaning. Pejoration occurs when a word with a positive meaning assumes a negative meaning.
Answer:
O A. That the army is one part of the government.
Explanation:
In his essay Civil Disobedience, Henry David Thoreau wrote that people have the right to protest and reject 'unjust' laws that are made by governments if it destroys or hurts the rights of men. This essay sparked a huge outrage due to its support of the citizen's overrule of a government if they find it unjust or unfair for the whole people.
In his statement <em>"the standing army is only an arm of the standing government"</em>, Thoreau meant to say that the army is just one part of the government. They are like an arm, a part of the whole institution of the government which in itself is not a separate entity. It is just a part of the government like the arm is part of the human body.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
epic
An epic poem is a long poem of adventures. A few examples of epics are The Odyssey and the Illiad. Also, the Epic of Gilgamesh is an epic. In each of these epics a hero is called to complete an adventure or journey. He leaves home in order to accomplish his goal and along the way must overcome a variety of obstacles. There are many character versus character conflicts, but often the biggest conflict is one in which the main character must make an important decision. It's at this point the climax has been reached and the character discovers something about himself. Often in an epic the character returns home a better person than when he left.
