When a dictionary has multiple definitions for the same word, the first definition is_________.

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.

Write a story about coming face to face with a mummy
Marta_Voda [28]
I was at the museum one late night, making sure everything was in place. As I walk up to the mummy palace, which was a room where we kept all the fake mummies, I hear something fall.. i did not think much of it so I walked right out. As I was walking out, I had this very bad feeling in my stomach.. I turn around very slowly ... chills going on all over my body.. and I SEE IT!!! A real life mummy!!!! I run as fast I can hoping to get away from it but no luck. The mummy had gotten me and turned me into one of them. Now I’m a mummy in the museum. I’m on of them.

Write a story when you are trapped in a deserted island with the things in your school bag
lyudmila [28]

Hello!

As much as I would love to help you, this is a project where no one can help you. You have to come up with your own answer. Writing is generally about expressing your thoughts based off of the information given. However, I can give you a few pointers to writing a successful story!

1) In this circumstance, you don't want to give facts, but rather your opinion of something/ experience. The best way to do this is to.....

  • Think about an adventure(s) that you have had with your family in the past. It might give you some inspiration.

2) Next, if you are allowed to get ideas, pick some sources, go through all of them, labeling anything mentioning the given topic. (like a detective!). I highly recommend using sticky notes. Maybe try a survival/ survival tips book?

3) Then read through everything that you labeled and write down key ideas and themes throughout your sources that you want to include in your story.

4) Then, just write down anything that comes to mind about the topic. You can edit later.

5) Make sure you do it in one sitting, so that you don't disrupt your train of thought.

6) Don't be afraid to get creative! That is what will make your story stand out!

Good luck! I wish you all the best on your project! Hope it goes well, and I hope I was able to help in some way. One of the best things to do when you are overwhelmed is to <u>just sit down and write</u>. That way you have something to work with, then you can edit accordingly.

By the way, when you finish, you can post another question or a response and I can help you edit it if you would like? Two minds are better than one!
