Answer:

B) The entry provides two pronunciation guides is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Letter A is incorrect because etymology refers to the origins of the word and how the meaning has changed.

Letter C is also incorrect because when a word is identified in a dictionary, the category appears next to it, such as verb, noun, adjective, and the definition doesn't provide this categorization.

Letter D i also incorrect because the definition comes before the synonyms.

Letter B is the correct answer because there are two pronunciation guides, one for the United States (US) and another one for the United Kingdom (UK) so it is the correct answer.
