Show/explain how to apply the understanding that word usage is a matter of convention, can change over time, and is sometimes contested.

Answers

Answer:

Languages change. Like living creatures, they evolve and grow over time in response to a shifting environment. New words are invented or borrowed from other languages, word meanings are altered or added to, and punctuation usages and sentence mechanics are adapted for new communication technologies. The people who use language make these changes in order to better suit their current needs. Learning about language usage helps readers understand both how language works and how people use it to express themselves in a different way.

Over time, many words that originated in different languages and cultures have become widely accepted as parts of the English language as well. For example, the Chinese word typhoon is now used and understood by English speakers as a word that means the same as the English term tropical cyclone

Usages are determined to be acceptable or unacceptable mostly by educators, writers, and the compilers of dictionaries and other reference materials. However, some conventional usages persist in conversational or informal language. This can include slang words like adorbs (adorable) and hang out (spend time together) as well as contested grammar practices, such as ending a sentence with a preposition.

I woke up excitedly. This day was special. It was my birthday and I was sure that I was going to receive a great deal of wishes and presents this year. I got off from my bed and rushed to my bathroom to get dressed in the best possible manner. I wore the beautiful dress that I had bought especially for this day. I slipped on my twinkling jewellery, put on some light make-up, dressed my hair and went down for breakfast.

Mom was in the kitchen. I flashed a bright smile at her, waiting for her to wish me and give me a hug. But my smile soon vanished as my mother started rolling with laughter. I was confused. I asked her what was the matter? Controlling her laughter, she managed to answer me, which sounded something like, “Why are you dressed up like that early in the morning? Are you alright?”

I started wondering what was wrong with her, and my worries grew even more when she stopped laughing suddenly. With a concerned face she came towards me. She tapped my cheek twice and asked, “Honey, are you sleepwalking?”

Read the sentence and inter the similar meaning synonym or oposite meaning of the word . Write S if the words pairs are synonyms or and A if antonyms.1.Sanitary-dirty 2.Wise-smart 3.Wide-narrow 4.Heavy-light 5.Pretty-lovely

Answers

Answer:

1. A

2. S

3. A

4. A

5. S

Explanation:

We say two words are synonyms when they convey the same meaning. That is the case in options 2 and 5. Take a look at the examples below and see how we can use both words to convey the same idea in the sentences:

- I always thought you were a smart man! = I always thought you were a wise man.

- You look really pretty tonight! = You look really lovely tonight!

On the other hand, we say two words are antonyms when they convey opposite, contrary ideas. That is the case in options 1, 3, and 4. Take a look at the examples below to better understand it:

- This place is not sanitary. = This place is dirty.

- This aisle is not wide. = This aisle is narrow.

- This table is heavy. = This table is not light.

The words above are antonyms. Notice that for them to convey a similar idea, one must be negated: dirty is the opposite of sanitary, thus it means "not sanitary", etc.

9- She was talking to her friend and forgot everything around her.
(Rewrite the sentence beginning with a Participle Phrase)

Answers

Answer:

After rewriting the sentence beginning with a participial phrase, we have:

Talking to her friend, she forgot everything around her.

Explanation:

A participial phrase consists of a past or present participle followed by modifiers or complements. Take a look at the examples below:

- Tired from the competition, she went home before everyone else. --> "tired" is a past participle

- Walking by the sea, we talked about our dreams and fears. --> "walking" is a present participle

Thus, to rewrite the sentence in the question with a participial phrase, all we need to do is transform one of clauses. The best choice is the first clause "she was talking to her friend." To make it a participial phrase, we eliminate the subject and any auxiliary verbs, using only the main verb in the present participle (-ing):

Talking to her friend, she forgot everything around her.

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

Doctor Pascal
by Emile Zola

In the heat of the glowing July afternoon, the room, with blinds carefully closed, was full of a great calm. From the three windows, through the cracks of the old wooden shutters, came only a few scattered sunbeams which, in the midst of the obscurity, made a soft brightness that bathed surrounding objects in a diffused and tender light. It was cool here in comparison with the overpowering heat that was felt outside, under the fierce rays of the sun that blazed upon the front of the house.

Standing before the press which faced the windows, Dr. Pascal was looking for a paper that he had come in search of. With doors wide open, this immense press of carved oak, adorned with strong and handsome mountings of metal, dating from the last century, displayed within its capacious depths an extraordinary collection of papers and manuscripts of all sorts, piled up in confusion and filling every shelf to overflowing. For more than thirty years the doctor had thrown into it every page he wrote, from brief notes to the complete texts of his great works on heredity. Thus it was that his searches here were not always easy. He rummaged patiently among the papers, and when he at last found the one he was looking for, he smiled.

For an instant longer he remained near the bookcase, reading the note by a golden sunbeam that came to him from the middle window. He himself, in this dawnlike light, appeared, with his snow-white hair and beard, strong and vigorous; although he was near sixty, his color was so fresh, his features were so finely cut, his eyes were still so clear, and he had so youthful an air that one might have taken him, in his close-fitting, maroon velvet jacket, for a young man with powdered hair.
