This difference goes back to a man named Noah Webster.He was born in Connecticut,America,and later worked as a teacher.He strongly believed that Americans should have their own version of English.In fact,in 2018,Yale University held a celebration for his 260th birthday! When America gained independence from Britain in 1776,people across the country spoke and spelled English in different ways.Webster thought that having a common language would help unite the new nation.He also felt that America shouldn't just copy British language rules.Therefore,he decided to create a simpler spelling system that reflected how words were actually pronounced. To make spelling easier-especially for children-he made some changes.He took out silent letters,.like the"u”in“colour”,turning it into“color'.He also changed the ending of words like“centre”to“center'”so the spelling matched the sound.He even wrote textbooks and dictionaries to teach these new spellings.He traveled around the country to promote this new simpler spelling system.Over time,more people accepted the changes and began using these spellings.Today,they are used in American schools,books,and everyday life.Webster's hard work helped American English become a unique and important version of English around the world. 21.Which of the following is not true according to the passage? A.Noah Webster was born in America over 200 years ago. B.America has been independent from Britain since 1776. C.Many people didn't accept the changes of words in America.

A.He added more letters to some words./ B.He asked Britain to change their spellings. C.He traveled around the country to sell his dictionaries. D.He took away some silent letters and matched spelling to sound. 23.Which of the following words has the similar meaning to the underlined word promote'”?
