Answer:

The word sagacity means:

- good judgment.

The word bestowing means:

- providing.

Explanation:

"Sagacity" has to do with wisdom and perspicacity, that is, the ability to see to a great distance, in this case, figuratively speaking. Therefore, when mentioning "the strong sagacity (...) which seem(s) almost the birthright of the natives of the West Riding", the author means they are farsighted and have good judgement.

"Bestowing" means conceding, granting, providing. By saying "From rarely requiring the assistance of others, he comes to doubt the power of bestowing it", the author means the natives of the West Riding do not rely on getting or providing assistance to their neighbors.

Samuel Johnson's dictionary was different from previous dictionaries of the English language as it used literary excerpts to illustrate word usage. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "B". Although there were several facts that separated this dictionary from all the previously created dictionaries of that time. This dictionary had the largest collection of words and that number was 427773. No other dictionaries had this number of word collection. this dictionary included the origin of the word and it was unique during that time. Another important aspect was that the dictionary gave the definition of each and every word. Last but not the least important is the fact that the dictionary gave illustrations from public authors to show the usage of the words.
