The boom of the bittern resounds all day, and above it the rasping scream of the blue heron, as he strikes terror to the hearts

of frogdom; while the occasional cries of a lost loon, strayed from its flock in northern migration, fill the swamp with sounds of wailing.
What is the connotative effect of the word scream used in paragraph 3?




A) It suggests the horror that the cry of the heron must evoke in the hearts of its prey: frogs.
Eliminate
B) It suggests that the author does not like the heron or its cry and finds both of them to be quite irritating.
C) It makes the reader laugh at the ridiculousness of the scene; there's something comic about a bird "screaming."
D) It suggests that the heron is terrified of its own actions and does not like what is required of its existence in the swamp.

WHAT ARE CONTEXT CLUES AND CONNOTATIONS??!??!? help me!
Ksivusya [100]

Context clues are hints that an author gives to help define a difficult or unusual word within a book. The clue may appear within the same sentence as the word to which it refers or it may follow in the next sentence. A connotation is a commonly understood cultural or emotional association that some word or phrase carries, in addition to its explicit or literal meaning, which is its denotation. A connotation is frequently described as either positive or negative, with regard to its pleasing or displeasing emotional connection.
