Answer:

Because "cookies" has nothing to do with cook, it's just a coincidence. Same goes for bacon.

Answer:

Bacon comes from bak-, the same root as our word back. It's the back meat of a pig. Bake has as its root an old word meaning "warm." Bacon can be baked and it's delicious. It can also be fried, obviously.

Cookie actually comes from a word meaning cake (which bacon is not), although cake comes from the Latin word for cooking. However, that word generically referred to preparing food so baking would at that time have fallen under the usage of the word cook. Cookies can be fried and fried cookies are delicious, although baking is more common.

Determine Dickens’s purpose in describing Mr. M’Choakumchild in this line: “He and some one hundred and forty other schoolmaster
alexdok [17]
<span>C. Informing readers that teachers were all educated in exactly the same way. Dickens likens the schoolmasters' training to that of a factory producing identical products. The pianoforte legs are created so that one is indistinguishable from another. You could swap one for another and no one would know the difference. Saying that teachers are educated to be identical to each other decreases or eliminates their humanity and individuality. It gives the impression that these teachers' lessons are dry, uninspired, and boring, since they are all copies of each other.</span>
