Do these sentences have the same meaning?
"Especial" is not a standard English word. None of these are sentences. They are more properly described as phrases. The only grammatically correct phrases that I would use are: 1 & 6. 1. "Nothing in particular" would be used as "What's on your mind?" Response: "Oh, nothing in particular." Meaning: My thoughts are very general, not pertaining to anything in particular. 6. "What are you doing this evening?" Response: "Oh, nothing special." Meaning: I have no particular plans.

Do the following three sentences have the same meaning: "What does he do?", "What is his job", "What is he?"?
In American English, the first two refer to a similar idea, unless the context is different. "What does he do?" when asked without context, will most likely mean for work. Within the context of work, this may mean specifically in his department.The "What is he?" without a context will most likely encourage the answer of ethnicity or familial history. However, we usually will ask a person directly "What are you" and expect them to provide their definition of self (default to ethnic identity in a majority of the cases unless other identifiers are stronger: I am a woman who knows what she wants and is not afraid to go get it.Similarly, there is a context in the inflection you must also think of "WHAT is he?" "what IS he?" "what is HE?" can all intone different answers. If a guy is standing in from of the asker in a fireman outfit, the question would be strange as you would be confronted with the visual of the fireman that almost overwhelms any other rational for the question. If he is just a guy in plain clothes standing there, it also may seem strange as the person you are asking may have relationships with him that would color the answer. "He is my coworker." "He is my landlord." "He is the guy my sister hit with a car."Therefore: the latter question begs the respondent via inflection and possible relationship scouring, to color their answer.

What do the following sentences from "Paradise Lost" mean?
"Wherefore do I assume these royalties, and not refuse to reign, refusing to accept as great a share of hazard, as of honor due alike to him who reigns, and so much to him due of hazard more, as he above the rest high honored sits?" -Lucifer My take on it is that Lucifer is saying something along the lines of: Why would I accept the honor of leading you if I were not also willing to accept such danger as accompanies such a role? However, on the explanation section it says that he is trying to justify taking hell's throne ex post facto. I don't see how he is doing that considering how I interpret his words. So, two questions. 1.Is my interpretation correct? 1a.If not what is the correct one and why? 2.If my interpretation is correct, how is Lucifer trying to justify his assuming of hell's throne after the fact if he is just saying that he will accept the burden that comes with it?

Do the following phrases share the same meaning in French? "Je nécessite quelque chose", & "J'ai besoin de quelque chose".
Well, the sentence “« Je nécessite quelque chose” does not sound french to me (I am french).Technically, it seems correct. The verb “« nécessiter” does exist. So it seems that the verb “« nécessiter quelque chose” exists, and it does, but for non living beings only.So we, the French, use the verb only in what we call the “« third person” (troisième personne). Si you might say :Cette Jeep nécessite 10 litres de carburant tous les 100 kilomètres.orCe métier nécessite beaucoup de patience.Now, of you are a person, then you have to say:J’ai besoin de patience pour apprendre le français.OrApprendre le français nécessite de la patience.And it would mean the same !
