What does the current OED reflect? FAST!!!

Kobotan [32]3 years ago

The OED is not just a very large dictionary: it is also a historical dictionary, the most complete record of the English language ever assembled. It traces a word from its beginnings (which may be in Old or Middle English) to the present, showing the varied and changing ways in which it has been used and illustrating the changes with quotations which add to the historical and linguistic record. This can mean that the first sense shown is long obsolete, and that the modern use falls much later in the entry.

To help her encode the knowledge, Rebe should make a mnemonic device.

Any learning strategy that promotes information retention or retrieval (remembering) in the human mind for greater comprehension is referred to as a mnemonic device, or memory device. Mnemonics use specific tools including retrieval cues, imagery, and elaborate encoding to encode information in a way that makes it easy to store and retrieve. Mnemonics let new information become connected to something more relatable or significant, which improves memory retention of the material.

Read this passage from "Four Freedoms Speech" by Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Marta_Voda [28]

     The answer would be C. By using parallel structure, Roosevelt emphasizes the challenge the country faces in transitioning from peacetime to wartime.

    The literary device parallelism is employed to emphasize how hard it is prepare for a wartime scenario. Parallelism is used mostly to provide emphasis in many moving passages and is efficient when trying to persuade or convince one's audience.

Example:

     It was dark because a new era was upon the nation. It was dark because change was coming. It was dark because the struggle had only begun.

     In this example, repeating the phrase "It was dark" places emphasis on the ominous tone of the prompt and allows the reader to feel the gravity of the situation.
