Blend
Hi, I found this example, Does the meaning here of "Blend" has the right meaning for the word in my text?
The old and new buildings blend together perfectly.
-Yet Mormons blend with society
The old and new buildings blend together perfectly.
-Yet Mormons blend with society
Top answer
" "Old" and "new" are on equal footing in the "buildings" image. There may or may not be equal numbers of both. But "Mormons" describes a relatively small group compared to the whole of society .
- " "Old" and "new" are on equal footing in the "buildings" image.
- There may or may not be equal numbers of both.
- But "Mormons" describes a relatively small group compared to the whole of society .
- I don't mean this comparison as a criticism, but my mind is a blank: The robber escaped by blending in with the crowd.
- In this case, a minority figure is blending in with the majority.
