Knit is to unite or cause to unite or also it means to make something usually out of wool by forming a network of the threads into such things as sweaters, toques etc. A gnome is a dwarfish being that guards the treasures of the earth underground, or a tiny unpleasant looking person, or or a person thought to have sinister effect, particularly in financial matters.I don't see how knit and gnome are alike and for sure they are different and refer to two quite different things.

I would say that knit and gnome are similar in that both words have a silent letter/sound: in knit, you don't read the K sound in the beginning, and in gnome, you don't read the G sound in the beginning. Other than that, I don't really see many similarities between those two words.
When it comes to differences, the obvious one is the meaning - they don't mean the same thing. Also, knit is a verb, whereas gnome is a noun. They are also spelled differently, because they are different words, and so on.

Which is the longest word in english . and what is it about ??​
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.

Explanation:

The word pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is an artificial word that supposedly means, "lung disease caused by inhaling very fine silica dust, causing inflammation in the lungs." It is used mainly as an example when speaking of very long words.  

A disease that meets the definition of the word is commonly called silicosis.

The 45-letter word was coined to be the longest in the English language. It is, in fact, the longest word to appear in an English dictionary, found in current editions of several dictionaries. It is usually abbreviated with the number P45.

1 Based on the speaker's analogy, how are oceans and poems said to
inessss [21]

Both are easy to get into, but their effect is difficult to escape.

Answer: Option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In Jack Spicer's poem, "Any fool can get into an ocean" He has a two sided connotation all through the poem. He utilizes the representation of the sea to verse and claims that on the off chance that you don't have the foggiest idea what you are doing, or isn't a God then it won't be beneficial for you.

In the poem, He discusses a sea and how in the event that you are not cautious you can wind up suffocating or lost in it, yet in addition makes reference that you should be a God to turn out alive.

What quality of the locomotives does the consonance of the r sound in the sentence below suggest?
velikii [3]
The repetition of the r sound in "heaR", "Rushing", "RoaRing", and "shRill" suggests the image and sound of the train rushing past. When something fast moves by you, there's a rush of air that flies by, and this sound and movement of air, mixed with the grinding of the train on the tracks is meant to be represented by the 'r' sound, based on the consonance in the line.
