Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The excerpt claims that Johnson's work is significant because he:

B. searched literature and found more words.

Explanation:

According to the excerpt, dictionaries were quite limited. To write one that was as complete as possible, Johnson had a lot of work. First, he began by reading books. By searching literature, he was able to add more words to the ones dictionaries had already provided him with. Then, he moved on to the difficult but certainly rewarding task of gleaning words from "living speech," which can be quite a chaotic job. He did not change the format of dictionaries, he did not apply rules to make language less chaotic, nor did he select only the most difficult words to define. Therefore, the correct option is letter B.
