Answer:

A: It does not convey to power and immensity of the idea.

Explanation:

The given question refers to the essay <em>Love's Vocabulary</em> by Diane Ackerman.

<em>How can love’s spaciousness be conveyed in the narrow confines of one syllable? </em>-<em> </em>asks the author. She discusses the origin of the word, and how people use it: <em>We use the word love in such a sloppy way that it can mean almost nothing or absolutely everything.</em>

The problem is not that the word <em>love </em>consists of only one syllable, but that such a powerful, diverse feeling is difficult to describe. One word is not enough to convey its power, and the way people use it is not appropriate.

Thus, the correct answer is A.

2. Rewrite the following passage, correcting any spelling errors.
Luden [163]

Answer:

It is always a good idea to keep a personal spelling list. You can make it your own vocabulary list too by giving the meaning of the words as well. Spelling doesn't happen by itself, you have to learn it. Reading, of course, also helps you learn how to spell. The more you read, the more words become familiar to you. However, when you are unsure, it is best to look a word up in the dictionary.​ (For the last sentence, you can either put what's above or you can put: "However, when you are unsure, it is best to look up a word in the dictionary.")

Hope this helps!

tatiyna
The poets description of trees, beetles,flowers, pastures, and a sunset affects the tone and conveys the central theme of the poem ''Elegy, written in a country churchyard'' by giving the poem a somber and almost reverently sorrowful tone, it goes with the theme of being written in a''country churchyard'' where there is the dead that has been buried and the feelings the poet must have felt while writing this of deep respect for the nature that surrounded him, tells us that the poet must have experienced loss. i hope this answer helped, although it is only an opinion, i reviewed the poem from ''Cliff notes'' have a great day!
