Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: D) pretentious.

Explanation: pretentious means something characterized by assumption of dignity or importance, especially when exaggerated or undeserved. Pretentious is the word that correctly fills in the blank, because its definition matches what it is being said about the man (that did not seem to have the experience that his boasting suggested). So the complete sentence would be: His actions were rather pretentious in that he did not seem to have the experience that his boasting suggested.

One of the meanings of the word "conception" is "thought, idea, or belief." Which of these prefixes should be added to "conception" to make it mean "a wrong or erroneous belief"?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is indeed "misconception".

Explanation:

A prefix is a letter or group of letters added to the beginning of a word with the intention of altering its meaning by forming a different word. The prefix that is added to the noun "conception" to transform its meaning into "a wrong or erroneous belief" is mis-. The word then becomes "misconception".

The prefix mis- comes from Middle English and means wrong, bad, or erroneous, as well as lack of. For instance: misunderstanding; misfortune; misspelling; mistreat; mislead; mistrust.
You could add the prefix "mis", which basically means wrong or unsuitabe. Then, you would have the word "misconception", a wrong or erroneous belief. :)

What major topic do both Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Philosophy of Composition” and Stephen King’s On Writing address?

Answers

Well On Writing is about Stephen Kings Life as a writer and serves as a book that guides people who would like to indulge in writing themselves. Edgar Allan Poe's book The Philosophy of Composition is about how good writers write and kind of gives a brief synopsis about how a good writer should write. So therefore I believe they both address, Writers craft, or how a write should write!
