Question:

What is the best type of print or digital resource to find the precise and appropriate definitions listed?

A) a general dictionary that is used for all content areas

B) a technical glossary for the subject area in which the terms are used

C) an encyclopedia that explains everything about a topic

D) a thesaurus that lists words that mean the same and opposite of each term

The correct answer is A) a general dictionary that is used for all content areas

Explanation:

A technical glossary is similar to a dictionary but is restrictive in that it only contains definitions that are related to a particular line of inquiry or study.

A dictionary on the other hand is more general and unlike a glossary, it contains the origins of a word or etymology, examples of how they may be used, and gives the various forms that the word can be used. For example, where the same word can be used as a verb and an adjective, the dictionary will explain the various contexts with examples.

his tongue, i believe, was bloody and hanging out of his mouth.

he looked as if he were hungry.

he has several wolf-like qualities; a gray coat, sharp claws and yellow fangs.

those eyes made me feel, dear reader, like the end was near.

as i reached for a stick, he moved to the other side of the hill.

panting and hungry, he looked at me, a defenseless human and he snarled.

well i said my prayers, however, he simply turned and limped off.
