Knowledge is a person's understandings and skill, but to acknowledge means to accept or recognize something.
The language system is semantics. "Coke" v.s "Sprite." are two different words, so we are focusing on a word. When Anna paused, she was confused because to Melinda, A Coke means a Sprite in her vocabulary. She wanted to confirm the same meaning. Semantics involves a changing meaning depending on the person. She is visiting from Alabama, so the meanings may have chosen just like dialects. Thus, it cannot be phonology/morphology, syntax, or pragmatics.
Answer:
Henry David Thoreau — essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian — is one of America’s most well-known writers. He lived his entire life, from 1817 until 1862, in and around Concord, Massachusetts, and he remains popular among readers of all ages worldwide because the topics he wrote about are still relevant today. His political writings have inspired generations to take a stand, and his nature writing earned him the title of “the father of environmentalism.”
How much of our life is spent in self-reflection, and how does nature encourage and nurture self-knowledge and growth? Can spending time in nature clear our minds and help us work in a more focused and creative way? Can it make us better learners and better human beings?
In this Text to Text lesson plan, celebrating this year’s 200th anniversary of Thoreau’s birth, we take on some of those questions by pairing his 1851 piece, “Walking,” with a 2013 New York Times column “Time to Write? Go Outside” — then suggest eight activities for taking the learning further.

Answer:
B. “the charges were laughable” (Paragraph 20)
Explanation:
Thes question refers to the article "A Child Of Slavery Who Thought A Generation" which tells the story of Anna Cooper.
She was, amongst other things, a principal and a teacher in first public high school for black students. Her work was amazing and very inspirational, which obviously bothered some people which led to a scandal ginned up against her.
The word "ginned up" means that something was started, agitated, increased or generated in a dubious manner and with dishonest purpose. This means that accusations were made only to throw dirt on her, without any factual evidence.
The sentence that best supports this is "the charges were laughable".
Although many prominent people stood in her defence, Cooper had to resign her principal's post due to the scandal and public pressure.
