English
1 answer:
OleMash [197]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The one thing you should remember, however, is that the first sense presented to you is not, as is commonly assumed, the most 'important,' or 'correct' meaning. Some senses may be archaic, slang, or rare, but none are better than the others.

Dictionaries differ in how they define a word for several reasons. One is that the language is so broad, an explanation of a word's meaning can be made in multiple different ways. A definition may be verbose or terse, depending on how the lexicographer approaches the task of explaining the meaning.

Select the sentence that is written in passive voice
alukav5142 [94]
I think it’s D!

In a sentence using passive voice, the subject is acted upon; he or she receives the action expressed by the verb. The agent performing the action may appear in a "by the..." phrase or may be omitted. The dog is acting upon the sentence subject (the boy), meaning it uses the passive voice.
