The correct answer is B. It used literary excerpts to illustrate word usage.

Johnson used excerpts from well known books to show how different words are used which was a completely new idea, revolutionary one, since the previous dictionaries showed what the word mean and were sometimes difficult to understand.

The use of supernatural elements in Macbeth to play audiences fear helps create
alexandr1967 [171]
The Supernatural elements of the play are very effective and help the play a lot to portray evil, sin and wrongdoing. Back in the day, people believed in witches, so it was very scary for them to see the play. That is probably why Shakespeare wrote it, so that he would unnerve people. Thus, resulting in more business.

Industrialization in Europe changed the way people lived. The urban working class came into being, and with it came the drudgery
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

In this question you're supposed to choose 2:

[1]

"Oh, God", he thought, "what a strenuous career it is that I've chosen! Travelling day in and day out. Doing business like this takes much more effort than doing your own business at home, and on top of that there's the curse of travelling, worries about making train connections, bad and irregular food, contact with different people all the time so that you can never get to know anyone or become friendly with them. It can all go to Hell!"

[2]

"Getting up early all the time", he thought, "it makes you stupid. You've got to get enough sleep. Other travelling salesmen live a life of luxury. For instance, whenever I go back to the guest house during the morning to copy out the contract, these gentlemen are always still sitting there eating their breakfasts. I ought to just try that with my boss; I'd get kicked out on the spot. But who knows, maybe that would be the best thing for me. If I didn't have my parents to think about I'd have given in my notice a long time ago, I'd have gone up to the boss and told him just what I think, tell him everything I would, let him know just what I feel."

Encyclopedias contain statistical data about a given year true or false
GaryK [48]
This should be false because the data is not organized year by year, but rather in an alphabetic order. Of course, it's also false because not all encyclopedias contain statistical data, it all depends on the encyclopedia.
