Question

What should you do if you come across an unusual word or phrase in an essay you're reading?

Answer 1

Answer:

Either B or D, though I think D is more correct.

Explanation:

A thesaurus is very helpful when you come across a new word and can't figure out what it means. Most of the time, it'd include both advanced and general (simple) words; hence, it makes it easier for us to get familiar with the meaning of the word. However, the question you're asking also includes "phrases", and since I don't think a thesaurus will give you synonyms of phrases, it is much more convenient to use the internet as it is faster and easier to use.

Answer 2

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Thesauruses will give you words that have the same meaning so your reader will understand.
