Jerry was a connoisseur who collected rare coins.

In this sentence, connoisseur is being used as a noun. "Jerry was a [...]" can not be followed by an adjective when used this way. Jerry was a red, Jerry was a stupid, Jerry was a grumpy. These are all followed by different adjectives and do not make grammatical sense. Connoisseur may also not be a verb because these following would not make much sense either: Jerry was a running, Jerry was a took, Jerry was a walking, Jerry was a jumped.

The actual meaning of a connoisseur is a person who has good sense or judgement. A critic when it comes to tastes in things like art, etc. Without knowing this definition, however, the above were ways you could figure something like this out next time.

Sometimes in English, a verb is used as a noun. When the verb form is altered and it serves the same function as a noun in the sentence, it is called a gerund.

What does it mean when you see the label Brit. in a word’s dictionary entry?

notsponge [240]

Answer:

The answer is indeed letter C. The word is used mainly in Great Britain, not in the United States.

Explanation:

Brit and US are geographical labels found in dictionary entries. They come in parentheses and are used to indicate where that word is mostly used. Thus, if the label Brit comes after a word, it means it occurs typically in British English - that may include other varieties, such as Australian English -, but not in American English. An example would be the informal word "bevvy", which refers to an alcoholic beverage. In a dictionary entry, we could find bevvy (Brit).

Geographical labels are also used to indicate that a certain way to spell a word belongs to one of the varieties of English as well. For example, the color gray has different spellings according to where it is used. Thus, we would find grey (Brit.) and gray (US) in a dictionary entry.
