Answer:
A). Harangue.
Explanation:
Connotation is exemplified as the implied or suggested meaning that elicits a particular idea or feeling apart from its literal or explicit meaning. It assists the readers to associate themselves to the context of the content being presented to understand it more comprehensively.
As per the question, the word 'harangue' is most likely to have a negative connotation as it implies the 'tirade, harsh scolding or rant speech' that invokes aggressive and captious feelings of the readers while the other words display a neutral inference. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
I don't know which central idea you're referring to, but I would say the correct answer is A. <span>Taking from the wealthy to feed the poor discourages hard work.

They are mere information about the society and its customs, or the utopia itself.</span>
