What does the current OED reflect? FAST!!!

English
1 answer:
Kobotan [32]3 years ago
6 0

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.

In the novel Frankenstein, what does the creature’s connection to nature suggest about him?
Brut [27]
<span>In the novel Frankenstein, what the creature's connection to nature suggests about him is that C. he is connected to Victor and has human feelings. Although he was created from the dead, he still has some human feelings remaining, such as love, and loneliness, and hatred, and fear, etc. He also feels very connected to his creator, Victor, which additionally shows his human emotions. We cannot know whether his love for nature is artistic, as he is still practically a "zombie," so option A is unlikely correct. B is also incorrect because it doesn't convey all of his emotions. D is definitely incorrect because there is more to Frankenstein's monster than just the feelings of possession and greed. </span>

Which is the closest synonym for the word overwhelmed?
Effectus [21]
I believe that the closest synonym for the word overwhelmed is awestruck. It isn't jubilant, because that means happy. And overwhelmed isn't necessarily happy, it is just a strong emotion. Flattered and gracious just don't fit here.
