Expanding a word into a sentence. Word/Term + Class+ characteristics (Differences)
Example:
Herbivores are animals that feed on plants.
Term
class
distinguishing characteristics
Formal sentence definitions are composed of the term being defined,
the class it belongs to, and its distinguishing characteristics.
What are the patterns or techniques that you can use in writing expanded
definitions? McMurrey also called these as sources of extended or expanded
definitions. Here are some of the common pattern/techniques or sources:
1. Etymology. The etymology (the origin of the word) is a common way to
begin an extended definition. In addition to giving the origin, it can be helpful
to show how the meaning or usage has changed over time.
2. Exemplification. Giving examples is a common way to extend the definition
of a word.
3. Comparison. If the word being defined is complex, it can be compared to
something which is simpler (by giving an analogy).
4. Contrast. The word can be contrasted with others in the same category
which are close in meaning.
5. Classification. If the word being defined can be divided into different types,
classification can be used to extend the definition.
6. Process. If the word being defined is a process, or is used to carry out a
process, then the definition can be extended by explaining the process.
7. Negation. It is sometimes helpful to extend the definition of the word by
explaining what it is not, in order to explain what it is.
8. Description. If the word being defined is something physical, then a
description of its characteristics, possibly including a diagram, might be
appropriate
9. Enumeration. If the word being defined has many characteristics, then it
might be helpful to enumerate (.e. list) each of these characteristics in
detail.

PA ANSWER PO YUNG TAMA NAMAN SANA THANK YOU:)​

it provides a unique and personal perspective on a significant historical event.

no. but, i heard its a good book. you could look up the answers or summary on some website.

a friend in need is a short story written by william somerset maugham. in the story, the main character (whose name is never mentioned) reflects upon the fact that people appearances do not tell us the reality of their personalities. in fact, the character states that his longtime and friends are the ones that he have known the less, as he mentions in the first paragraph of the text: “my oldest friends are just those of whom i can say that i don't know.”the character supports this idea by narrating an experience that happened with his friend edward hyde burton.

in the first place, the main theme of the story is the people real personalities beyond their cover. furthermore, he states that even the nicest friends can have dark personalities. using the example of burton:

“i think the chief thing that struck me about burton was his kindliness. there was something very pleasing in his mild blue eyes. his voice was gentle; you could not imagine that he could raise it in anger; his smile was kind. here was a man who attracted you because you felt in him a real love for his fellows.”

subsequently, the character narrates the events that led him to come to this belief. burton told him about a poor man (also name burton) that once came to his office in seek for an employ. burton agreed with the man that he would give him a job if he was able to swim around “the beacon and landed at the creek of tarumi.” eventually the man drowned due to his terrible health.  

finally, the character concludes his remark by mentioning the satirical response of burton when he is asked if he had thought of the man’s possible fate:  

"when you offered him the job, did you know that he'd be drowned?

he gave a little mild chuckle and he looked at me with those kind blue eyes of his. he rubbed his chin with his hand.

well, i hadn't got a vacancy in my office at the moment."
