    When I say, "What does that mean?" I'm saying that the use of the word in the sentence does not help explain or define the word.

    What does "incandescent" mean?

    What does "optimist" mean?

    3. That star is so bright and glowing that it looks incandescent. (Now I have an idea of what the word means.)

    4. I love life so much, so I must be an optimist. (Now I have an idea what that word means.)

    This has nothing to do with anything here. This is about the refraction of light.

    'This has nothing to do with anything here. This is about the refraction of light.'
    Okay.. I know this, but when I want to describe someone when he is acting,i.e. He seems as a poor man when he is wearing this clothes
    Did I use 'seem' in a correct way?

    You did not explain the phrase, "he appears to die when he acts." (I have never heard or read it before.)

    None of what you wrote makes any sense to me.

    "All right" is two words.

    He looks poor when he wear those clothes.

    You can add "the," but it is very unnecessary. It makes the reader think that, in the past, he had a bald patch somewhere else.

    He has a bald patch on the top of his head. Last month, he had a bald patch on the side of his head. Two months ago, he had a bald patch on the back of his head.
