Pronunciation is one of the most obvious areas.For example, in Old English, people said "hus" and "mus".Now, we say "house" and "mouse".These days, there are many differences in the way English is pronounced in the U.S., India, and elsewhere.When people live in groups separated by great distances, the pace of change can be fast.Spelling has also gone through interesting changes.For example, in Old English, one wrote "riht".A "g" was added in Middle English, making the spelling "right".Also, in the distant past, people did not always follow standards of spelling.In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, scholars like Noah Webster wrote dictionaries which made the spelling more consistent.However, different standards were decided on in England and the U.S.So, some differences remain—for example, "color" vs."colour".
When did scholars try to make English spelling more consistent?
选项
答案
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
解析
题目意思:学者们什么时候试图使英语拼写更加一致?根据题干“spelling more consistent”可定位至该段倒数第二句“In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries ,scholars like Noah Webster wrote dictionaries which made the spelling more consistent.”即在十八世纪和十九世纪,像诺亚韦伯斯特这样的学者编写了字典,使拼写更加一致,故答案为“In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.”
