Answer: Standard time is the synchronization of clocks within a geographical region to a single time standard, rather than a local mean time standard. Generally, standard time agrees with the local mean time at some meridian that passes through the region, often near the center of the region. Historically, standard time was established during the 19th century to aid weather forecasting and train travel. Applied globally in the 20th century, the geographical regions became time zones. The standard time in each time zone has come to be defined as an offset from Universal Time. A further offset is applied for part of the year in regions with daylight saving time.
The adoption of standard time, because of the inseparable correspondence between time and longitude, solidified the concept of halving the globe into an eastern and western hemisphere, with one prime meridian replacing the various prime meridians that had previously been used.

Answer:
D. literal; symbolic.
Explanation:
Literal meaning, or the denotation, is the actual meaning of a word, the one you can find in a dictionary to explain what a particular word means. On the other hand, a symbolic, or connotative meaning, is abstract, and usually quite different from the word's literal meaning.
E.g. a dove is a type of a bird according to its literal meaning; however, it is a symbol for freedom and purity, according to its symbolic meaning.
