Question

read the sentence from samuel johnson’s preface to a dictionary of the english language. wherever i turned my view, there was perplexity to be disentangled, and confusion to be regulated; choice was to be made out of boundless variety. which word in the sentence helps readers determine the meaning of the word perplexity? ○ wherever ○ view ○ disentangled ○ variety

Explanation:

To determine the word that helps with "perplexity", we analyze context. "Perplexity" involves confusion, and "disentangled" implies resolving a tangled (confusing) situation. "Wherever" is about location, "view" is about seeing, and "variety" is about diversity—none relate to resolving confusion like "disentangled" does to understanding "perplexity".

Answer:

disentangled
