<span>The excerpt suggests that Johnson’s work is significant because it reflects an exhaustive study of its words.
In the excerpt above, Johnson says that he used many methods in order to compile this dictionary - he read a lot of books, used his experience, and used many analogies for readers to connect words and their meanings on their own. A is incorrect because that's not the point of a dictionary; B is incorrect because he doesn't even mention other dictionaries; D is incorrect because a dictionary cannot only list obscure words.

2. Read the following excerpt: Without looking at him, a group of peons
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

C. The peons honor Señor Noboa by putting him on display, but as a result he has a

vision of his own death

Explanation:

This is the most logical explanation for that. The group of peons never wanted to tell Senor Noboa about his impending death hence the reason why they decided to show him on the mirror.

To Senor Noboa, it was about honour being extended to him without knowing that, his death is close by. That revelation on the mirror was simply a vision of how he is going to die.

Why does virgil compel dante to learn by doing and breaking off a twig?
Alik [6]
While traveling through the Second Ring, Dante and Virgil come across a place with many dark trees, but no actual people. They can hear voices screaming in pain, but they can't see them. Virgil tells Dante to break off a twig from one of the trees, after which the tree cries in pain and starts bleeding. Virgil then explains that all of these trees are souls of people who've hurt themselves during life, those who have willingly discarded their own bodies and committed suicide. Thus whenever the tree is hurt (a branch broken off), they feel pain as if they were dismembered.

Can someone create a essay on the similarities between the two storys "Loser" and "At Dusk"??? Please?
irinina [24]

Answer:

Loser and At Dusk...

both are amazing stories let's compare them.

so first, Loser is a tender story about Donald Zinkoss, a young character who demonstrates great self-acceptance and who is not afraid to fail. With the encouragement of his family, he learns to approach life with a positive spirit and to enjoy all that it has to offer.

Now about at Dusk. 'Dusk' by Saki is about Norman Gatsby, who's cheated by a young man about needing money. He tells Gatsby that he had set out to buy some soap and has now forgotten which hotel he's staying at. Initially, Gatsby is suspicious, but he later finds a bar of soap on the ground, which confirms the young man's story.

The themes in "Loser" include success, persistence, and conformity while the themes in "at dusk" include perception, deception, and guilt.

The loser is the story of a boy who was branded a loser by his classmates because of his poor performance in school and athletics. He was persistent and was eventually successful.

At Dusk is a poem about deception. It's hard to see people as they truly are at dusk. In about city, everyone is a stranger. The themes include perception, deception, and guilt.
