Read the sentence from Samuel Johnson’s preface to A Dictionary of the English Language. And such is the fate of hapless lexicography, that not only darkness, but light, impedes and distresses it; things may be not only too little, but too much known, to be happily illustrated. What is the best definition of the underlined word as it is used in the sentence? unlucky or unfortunate; pitiable unknown or unfamiliar; mysterious without intelligence; foolish without tenderness; harsh.

the answer should be

the simple past tense of strive.

hope this !

in ray bradbury's short story "a sound of thunder", mr. eckels's fearfulness leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

in the story, mr. eckels, who is a hunter, hires a time travel company to travel to the age of dinosaurs. although he is excited for the hunting expedition at the beginning, when they reach there and mr. eckels sees the tyrannosaurus, he feels frightened. as he is afraid of the tyrannosaurus, he steps off the path although he has been warned not to do it. by stepping off the path, the entire course of the future is affected: mr. eckart alters the future by stepping on a butterfly, which causes a new man to be elected president in the future. in that way, it is mr. eckart's fearfulness what triggers 'the butterfly effect' and what leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

the answer is industry

the time most likely will repeat, in the story.
