In Czech language and literature, how many volumes comprised Josef Jungmann's monumental Czech-German Dictionary (Slovník česko-německý) published in 1834-1839?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. 5 volumes
- Step 1: Josef Jungmann's five-volume lexicon revived thousands of archaic terms, created modern scientific neologisms, and proved Czech capable of expressing modern European concepts. Answer: 5 volumes. Why not the others: 2 volumes, 8 volumes and 10 volumes do not fit this literary work or grammatical concept.
