The correct answer is C) Words can have many different meanings, and the information age has created many new meanings for words.

With the raise of new technology and new forms of communication, technological terms were invented, giving some existing words a double meaning. This can be confusing for someone that didn't grow up with the internet, and someone from the Internet Age would be confused if you told them that monitor is also a type of lizard.

Select the correct answer.
lawyer [7]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

This answer is clear when you answer the text a little bit. The lines "Like a cloistress she will veiled walk, and water once a day her chamber round" implies that she will be walking around her chamber (room) and cry. It is also made clear that this is because of her brother's death, by the line "A brother's dead love, which she would keep fresh... And lasting in her sad rememberance". Hope this helps!

Gnesinka [82]
<span>The correct answer is "Each person, regardless of age or backgrounds, has the right to krump." 'Has' is a third person singular form of the verb 'have.' This means that it will be used in a sentence where the subject is another person (not yourself.) In this case, the subject is "person," which is singular and not yourself. What if the subject of this sentence was "people" instead of person? We would use "have" because the subject is now plural!</span>
