To complete the chart using information from the text, we need to find the 1611 meaning and the present meaning for the words "conversation," "peculiar," and "corn." We will use the same words given in the text.
1. Conversation:
According to the text, the 1611 meaning for "conversation" is "verbal interaction." So, we can write "verbal interaction" under the 1611 meaning column for "conversation."
To find the present meaning, we can refer to a reliable dictionary or thesaurus. Let's assume we consult a dictionary and find that the present meaning for "conversation" is still "verbal interaction." So, we can write "verbal interaction" under the present meaning column for "conversation" as well.
Now our chart for "conversation" looks like this:
| Word | 1611 Meaning | Present Meaning |
|-------------|------------------|------------------|
| Conversation| Verbal Interaction | Verbal Interaction|
2. Peculiar:
The text states that the 1611 meaning for "peculiar" is "very special." We can write "very special" under the 1611 meaning column for "peculiar."
To determine the present meaning, we can consult a reliable dictionary or thesaurus again. Let's assume the present meaning for "peculiar" is still "very special." So, we can write "very special" under the present meaning column for "peculiar."
Now our chart for "peculiar" looks like this:
| Word | 1611 Meaning | Present Meaning |
|-------------|------------------|------------------|
| Conversation| Verbal Interaction | Verbal Interaction|
| Peculiar | Very Special | Very Special |
3. Corn:
According to the text, the 1611 meaning for "corn" is "corn." We can simply write "corn" under both the 1611 meaning column and the present meaning column for "corn" since the word has retained the same meaning over time.
