Read the following sentence.
inysia [295]

The accurate answer is: Look up the word on an online dictionary.

Looking up for a word on an online and reliable dictionary is the most effective way to find out the different meanings a word can have according to the context in which it is used. The dictionary also provides the many <u>fixed expressions</u> using that word. For example, it is commonly known that the word <em>fancy </em>means<em> "something elaborate in decoration or structure"  </em>but when used in<em> "</em><em>s</em>he took a fancy to the beautiful diamond bracelet in the department-store window" the meaning gets a little confusing. Therefore, if you look it up in an online dictionary you find out that there's a fixed expression "to take a fancy on something/someone", meaning "to start liking something or someone very much". Finally, we can be sure of the actual meaning of the sentence.

<u>Regarding the rest of the options:</u>

  • Use context to guess what a girl would think about a diamond bracelet for sale in a department window.

While this option could help you in identifying the meaning of the word since context is always a key factor, a simple guessing won't verify the actual meaning of the word.

  • Conduct a search on an online video sharing website.

This could help you but, once again, you need a dictionary to verify whether what is posted on the online video sharing website is reliable.

  • Look up the word on Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is not a 100% reliable source since everyone can provide and edit information on this website.

  • Try to think of other words that sound like “fancy.”

The sound of the word "fancy" won't provide you its meaning, so it would be helpless to think of other words with a similar sound.

Review the two different interpretations of the confrontation between Cory and Troy in Act 1, Scene 3. They are available at the
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Troy and Cory's father-son relationship succumbs to its first major blow while working together on Rose's fence. The blow to their relationship is not yet a physical affront, but an irreconcilable difference. Cory has taken care of insuring his job at the A&P for after football season and gets good grades in school, but Troy does not acknowledge these responsible acts. Instead, Troy only sees the ways Cory does not live up to Troy's vision of how Cory should live his life. Troy's hypocrisy becomes evident to Cory over the course of his conversation with Troy as they build the fence.

The beginning of their talk displays a friendly competition aspect of their relationship. Troy and Cory argue about the purchasing of a television versus a new roof in good spirits. Troy is typically stubborn and takes the pragmatic view on the television issue, again emphasizing his inability to empathize with anyone else's lofty dreams but his own. However, in a moment of compassion, Troy relents and offers Cory a fair deal. In this moment, Troy is his most laudable. Cory's persistent, logical and persuasive argument for a television affects Troy. It is notable that Troy does not go head over heels and offer to buy Cory the television, but his proposal is fair and balanced. By offering to pay half if Cory can come up with half of the money, Troy emphasizes the kind of responsibility-instilling parenting he believes in that encourages Cory's work ethic, while supporting his son in realizing a dream. On the flip side, when their argument hits closer to home with the topic of sports, Troy transforms his fair and supportive outlook into an irrational, hurtful one.

Pablo ate one and forty-eight hundredths pounds of bananas. What is the value of the 4 in this number? * 10 points 0.04 pound 40
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Value = 4 * 0.1

Explanation:

Given:

Pounds = one and forty-eight hundredths

Required

Determine the value of 4

First, we convert the given to digits

One and forty-eight hundredths = 1.48

So:

Pounds = 1.48

Split to individual digits:

Pounds = 1 + 0.4 + 0.08

Express as sum of products

Pounds = 1*1 + 4 *0.1 + 8 * 0.01

Hence, the value of 4 is:

Value = 4 * 0.1
