Answer: Excerpt 1 recognizes the importance of word origins, but excerpt 2 suggests that studying word origins could be a waste of time.

Explanation: Johnson's dictionary was not the first, nor was it unique. It was, however, the most commonly used and imitated for the 150 years between its first publication and the completion of the Oxford English Dictionary in 1928. Thomas Babyton Macaulay described Johnson as a "wretched etymologist".

How does the fact that Laurie's mother aoesnt realize that Laurie is cnaries develop
stepladder [879]

Answer:

The fact that Laurie's mother doesn't realize that Laurie is Charles develops the story's theme in the sense that:

A. The mother's fascination with Charles's behavior and excuses for Laurie's home  behavior develop the theme that parents are often blind to their own children's  faults.

Explanation:

This question is about the short story "Charles" by author Shirley Jackson. It is told from the perspective of Laurie's mother. Each day, coming back home from kindergarten, her son Laurie tells a different story about a boy named Charles who misbehaves at school. Laurie himself is misbehaving at home - being impolite, ignoring his parents, mocking them... Yet, <u>his mother and father never make the connection that Laurie is lying about the existence of this other kid. They become so fascinated about Charles, so eager to meet the mother of such a troublemaker, they don't realize their own son is Charles. They even take advantage of Charles's "existence" to justify Laurie's bad behavior, claiming Charles is influencing him. Blind to their own son's faults, it is only at the end of the story that the mother is told by Laurie's teacher that there is no Charles in their classroom.</u>

Which two sentences taken together provide the BEST evidence to support the idea that the public has reacted positively to Pozzi
Novay_Z [31]

Answer: A large number of volunteers joined to collect trash from the artist's sculpture, a great interest of society in wanting to see the sculptures.

Explanation:

Angela Pozzi is an artist who found her inspiration in the trash and in an original, artistic way she pointed out the problems of environmental pollution. The project started back in 2010 and is still relevant today. Pozzi made sculptures that look massive from debris from the sea and the beaches. For the most part, the artist depicts living creatures inhabiting the sea with sculptures, and how human activity threatens the living environment. The audience was enthusiastic about the move. Pozzi organized a workshop where volunteers bring trash so they can make their sculpture. Significant public interest was also present. Part of the itinerary came to various parts of the United States, and the attendance was enormous. Pozzi pointed out that the reactions were extremely emotional and that the setting had a high impact on people's consciousness.
