Excerpt from the Life of sSwift Samuel Johnson story: Of this disgrace it may be easily supposed that he was much ashamed, and s

hame had its proper effect in producing reformation. He resolved from that time to study eight hours a day, and continued his industry for seven years, with what improvement is sufficiently known. This part of his story well deserves to be remembered; it may afford useful admonition and powerful encouragement to men whose abilities have been made for a time useless by their passions or pleasures, and who having lost one part of life in idleness, are tempted to throw away the remainder in despair. In this course of daily application he continued three years longer at dublin; and in this time, if the observation and memory of an old companion may be trusted, he drew the first sketch of his "tale of a tub." What does the author mean when he refers to "men whose abilities have been made for a time useless by their passions or pleasures, and who having lost one part of life in idleness, are tempted to throw away the remainder in despair"?

Answer:

The author means that Men who waste their opportunities, then grow mopey

Explanation:

The question is not complete since it does not provide the necessary information to answer it. Here is the information:

A) Men who wish for fame, but end up in infamy.

B) Men who strive for success, then get distracted.

C) Men who waste their opportunities, then grow mopey

D) Men who take advantage of opportunities, then grow content

This excerpt describes men who have had chances in life as well and plenty of abilities to do great with their days, but as the moments are not fully seized, later life as years pass by, they become sad as they look at the past and notice all the precious time that they let go and that will never come back, as well as the few good moments that will remain as a constant of the lost plenty of youth.

We can match the pairs of words and meanings by either relying on our previous knowledge or looking them up, as further explained below.

  1. very difficult - arduous
  2. separated, torn apart - asunder
  3. deprived or robbed of something - bereft
  4. noisy - clamorous
  5. sorrowful - doleful
  6. an evil person - fiend
  7. hateful - loathsome
  8. relief or aid - succor

<h3>How to figure out the meaning of words</h3>

In activities such as this one, we can match the pairs of words and meanings by relying on our previous knowledge. For example, we can remember that the word "arduous" is often used to refer to work, usually in contexts that denote difficulty. Therefore, we can assume the word means "very difficult."

We can also look the words up in a dictionary or even online to find out their meanings. For example, when we look "doleful" up, we find that it means "sad" or "woeful". With that, we can assume the best meaning for it among the ones provided is "sorrowful."

Taking this explanation into consideration, we can conclude that the answers provided above are correct.

Which of the following is the best way to deal with stage fright? a. Don't expect perfection. b. Turn negative thoughts into pos
tatuchka [14]

I would say D. All of these answers are correct.

Because:

You shouldn't expect perfection; you don't want to get your hopes up, for when something could always potentially go wrong.

Turn negative thoughts into positive ones; You are your biggest critique.

Acquire Speaking experience; Practice is always a good thing.
