Answer:

B) The second sentence implies that the night watchman is stressed and underfed; the first implies that he is gracefully lean.

Explanation:

While the adjective "slender" makes reference to the man's physique, meaning that he has a healthy weight and the characteristics of a slim person, the adjective "gaunt" refers to the deplorable conditions in which the man is. By being "gaunt", he looks malnourished and is probably in an inadecuate pysichological condition.

There are times when people speak the same language yet cannot communicate because they are relying on different sets of: hint 3
eduard

It is true that sometimes communication is not possible because of different facts such as:  

A: Background knowledge: if there is communication between two or more people but they don’t share the same background, it is probably that a clash of knowledge would appear.

B: Assumptions: it is said in the Tolteic philosophy: 1st Agreement: “Don’t make assumptions”. If you create and state assumptions about what other people said, you will be misunderstanding many messages.

C: Dialect: sometimes this is a problem since there are some words that has a different meaning or they are pronounced differently so this, too, can create non-communication.

In dictionary entries, the letter n means _____ new. next. noun. none.
sdas [7]

Answer:

noun

Explanation:

A dictionary gives the definition of a word, but also its use/functions (like noun, verb, adjective, and so on).

'n' stands for 'noun', to save space.  It doesn't save much into a single entry (usually found once or twice)... but if you multiply that by 60 000 or 80 000 words in the dictionary, that sums up to a large number of characters saved... which translate into pages.

Highlight the vague word or phrase in the thesis statement below.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The highlighted word should be culture

Explanation:

This is how I would look at it... If the sentence doesn't specify what culture (in this instance) adopted it and you are leaving the reader with questions then that is your vague word! Hope this helps and good luck with your classes!
