Which line in the excerpt from “Ulysses” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson exposes the attitude of the Victorians toward idle people?It little profits that an idle king,
By this still hearth, among these barren crags,
Match'd with an aged wife, I mete and dole
Unequal laws unto a savage race,
That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me.

I cannot rest from travel; I will drink
Life to the lees. All times I have enjoyed
Greatly, have suffered greatly, both with those
That loved me, and alone; on shore, and when

Through scudding drifts the rainy Hyades
Vexed the dim sea: I am become a name;
For always roaming with a hungry heart
Much have I seen and known-- cities of men
And manners, climates, councils, governments,


Myself not least, but honoured of them all--

Answer:

B). Denotative.

Explanation:

As per the given description, the definition of 'relevant' implies a denotative meaning as it proposes the literal or direct meaning of the word 'relevant' contrary to the connotative meaning which is implied or associated and needs to inferred. Denotative meaning is quite explicit as the meaning and the word has a direct association and therefore, convenient for the readers to determine. Thus, the word 'relevant' is defined denotatively here as it offers a dictionary meaning. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

The correct answer is D. A thesaurus

Explanation:

In writing, it is common for novice writers to feel they cannot find an appropriate word or the synonym of another word, which is especially important to avoid the unnecessary repetition of terms or the use of words that are not adequate.  In this case the most advisable is to use reference material, especially a thesaurus as this material lists the words of a language along with their synonyms or related word, which made it a suitable material for finding appropriate words related to a field or another word. On the other hand, a vertical file refers to a collection of booklets, photographs, and other materials; a gazetteer is a geographical dictionary used to understand maps and a facsimile is a copy of a document or book and therefore any of these materials or sources can be used to find an appropriate word while writing. Thus, to find an appropriate word while writing use a thesaurus.

In the short stories "A Good Man is hard to Find" and "The Petrified Man", the authors use effective descriptions of the settings, they use all the senses to graphically describe the scenes and situations. The kind of description both  utilize include visual, auditory, smell, touch or tactile and at times taste. The style in their narrative gives the reader a complete experience and understanding of the background and setting.
