In the excerpt from the life of samuel johnson, boswell writes that johnson "was prone to superstition, but not to credulity." define credulity, and write a sentence of your own that demonstrates the meaning of the word.

Credulity is the state of easily agreeing with someone's perspectives or opinions without any presentable proof available.

Explanation:

When James Boswell wrote that Samuel Johnson "was prone to superstition, but not to credulity", he meant to imply that Johnson is not easily agreeable to the opinions of the majority or other people, meaning he is not easily influenced by others.

Credulity is the state of a person in willing to agree with someone or something about a particular thing or point even without the presence or availability of a reasonable proof. This state of easily agreeing with other people's opinions or ideas means the credulity of that person.

For example,

After everything has been said and done, the master's sequence of events seem to stretch credulity.

the present continuous is a verb tense which is mainly used to indicates that an action is in progress at the moment of speaking.  

it is formed using: person + verb to be (am/is/are) +verb + - ing form  

example: i am studying at this moment .

in addition, the present continuous is also used in order to express things that will or will not happen in the near future.

example: i am having dinner with some friends tonight.

the speaker sometimes   uses it   to express that an action is repeated and it causes irritation on the part of the speaker

example: my sister is constantly complaining about everything.
