Read the following passage, then choose the correct answer for each question.
Noah Webster’s goal in life was to promote the adoption of an American language. He wanted to free Americans from British English as they had freed themselves from the British crown. To this end he published a series of three textbooks: a speller in 1783, a grammar in 1784, and a reader in 1785.
Webster objected to the way certain words had been borrowed from other languages, but had not been respelled. The result, he claimed, was a confusing mixture of letters, many of which were not pronounced the way they looked, and others of which were not pronounced at all.
Webster urged Americans to simplify their spelling. For example, he argued that “head” should be spelled “hed" and “bread” should be spelled “bred”. Most of Webster's suggestions did not catch on, but his textbooks sold millions of copies.
