Answer:

The word peculiar was used in 1611 to mean a very special person or object. This meaning can be followed to its present meaning, strange, odd, or unusual. Likewise, the word corn in England was the name used for all other grains except corn. They had never seen the grain they obtained later from the American Indian.

Answer:

Conversation in 1611 was used in many passages, the word is used something like this: "Your vain conversation received from your fathers," or "Our conversation is in heaven." In the first passage, conversation refers to a manner of life; and in the second, it means citizenship. The word peculiar was used in 1611 to mean a very special person or object. This meaning can be followed to its present meaning, strange, odd, or unusual. Likewise, the word corn in England was the name used for all other grains except corn. They had never seen the grain they obtained later from the American Indian. Our vocabulary must have evolved throughout time as we advanced in different ways and as humanity continues to evolve I am definite that our vocabulary will continue to change as time goes on.

How does nick's statement about his rare honesty affect your opinion of him? why do you feel this way?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Nick's statement about his rare honesty affect your opinion of him and i feel this way because Nick may not be a perfect person (in honesty or reserving judgement), he is unquestionably superior to the other members of his clique, and I believe this is what endears him to all of us.

Because While Nick may not be a perfect person (in honesty or reserving judgement), he is unquestionably superior to the other members of his clique, and I believe this is what endears him to all of us. This is perhaps the reason he can make statements about his own sincerity or lack of judgement.

He is surrounded by people who does not have honesty and are  horrible at each of those things and undoubtedly feels better about himself as a result. I recently served as the head coach of a football team that included some really subpar players. Due to the talent gap in his environment, the one average athlete I had appeared like a superstar every day during practice.

Read the sentence below about the Chicago fire of 1871. Many people tried very hard to save the building of the Chicago Tribune.
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The revision which is the best example of adding concrete detail is:

Claire Innes was separated from the people around her during the fire and she later found them near the same place they were separated.

The other options do not apply because the original sentence does not talk about Claire Innes' parents or family

Claire Innes became separated from her parents as the flames spread through the city, and she later found them.

In the panic, Claire Innes was separated from her family as they fled, and she was reunited with her father after the fire was extinguished.

In the panic, Claire Innes became separated from her brothers and sisters during the fire and she later found them after the fire was put out.
